High Sierra Topix

Has anyone had a good or bad experience with a tent or gear repair? I am glad to report after I had a zipper on my Big Agnes Fly Creek 1 tent that began to fail at the end of last season, I contacted Big Agnes, and they had me send it back. They installed a complete new zipper, and it only cost me the $ to ship it back. I put 3 seasons of hard use on the tent. Very satisfied to have someone back up a warranty in that manner.

Well I have two Zpacks Hexamids that I sent in to get the zippers repaired. My solo plus also was fraying all over the tent and Zpacks told me they would tape that all for free also.

I haven't got them back yet but as long as I do then it should be a good experience.

Last year, both my Tarptent Rainbow and my Gregory 60 needed major repairs...blew out a tent zipper and then pulled out a major seam on the pack...both seemed fatal...
or at the least chronic ).

Found a lady who lives here in Mammoth...quality gear seamstress who used to work for the mountain.
Cost me $20 for all.
Now if I could only find a good cobbler.

I've patched fabric, sewn blown seams, removed and replaced zippers, and replaced broken pole sections. So far I've had only good experiences.

Found an excellent cobbler for your boots. Check out Dave Page Cobbler. Here is a link.
