I have the same pack and nothing seems to free up the zipper any
longer. I tried hot water, WD40, silicon spray and even tried to chip
out the crud with a small pick. Still jammed.
But I noticed that wetsuit zippers don't corrode, so I was thinking of
replacing just the zipper (the rest of the pack is good.) Probably
any brass or all-plastic zipper would corrode less than the one that's
there. Anyone know where to get one?
