Turkey vest zipper question

Post by mossy835 »

So how do you quiet your turkey vest zippers? Paraffin wax, spray lube?? Mine sounds worse than Velcro being separated!

they make a powder style lube that comes in a tube, I'd try that before a spray...I don't have this issue so I don't know... :scratch:

If you can't get that zipper to quiet down. Go to Cabela's in Tacoma near Joint Base Louis Mchord.
And get a modern vest. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I was there in June. But bring some money they ain't giving them away. LOL

That is where the noisy thing came from. And you are right about the money I am sort of grounded from Cabelas until the wife catches up on goodies with me from there!

I don't think mine has a zipper, I'm too fat to close it up anyway. I've heard soap or candle wax works well.

Picked up a few good pointers from some SEALS while I was in the suc.
Cut off the metal pull tab, para-chord in place (stop the klinking), and using an old white candle works best. It doesn't have a smell like the soap that would attract bugs. It lubricates and silences.

Makes sense and worth a try, thanks.
