PhreeZone 15 #1 October 6, 2003 Anyone know the make of zippers that are used on the Birdman suits? I had a zipper tab pop off on me on my first jump on my new S3. I need to get the suit flying by this weekend and was planning on just buying a zipper kit and replacing the little metal cap that fell off my arm zipper. I've got the pull tab still. But it seems like there are as many types of zippers as there are types of rigs. I need to know what to tell the ladies I need when I walk into a fabric shop this week.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crawford 0 #4 October 6, 2003 Man, Bowie, where were you about 6 months ago when I did that. That sounds like an excellent remedy to the broken zipper woes. I, unfortunely, broke the zipper on a friends suit that let me borrow it. I think he just took the suit and had a heavy duty zipper placed on it and is working fine!!! Not sure if that helps you any, but hey, any info is good info! "Sure, those Golf Carts may look all warm and fuzzy, but they WILL take a chunk out of your ass!"
