If you own a Jones H-Bar pack or any bag, pack, or clothing that has a zipper, we highly recommend the Gear Aid Zipper Lubricant and Cleaner. Not only does this Lubricant help prolong the life of your zipper, it also makes the zipper easier to open and close. You may not think of this as a big deal, but have you ever ridden a bike with a dried out chain? It feels horrible and wears out faster but once you clean and oil the chain it makes a world of difference. It is the same with zippers, so be sure to grab a bottle of Gear Aid Zipper Lubricant and Cleaner to keep your zippers happy.
