Patagonia
Patagonia and iFixit are celebrating the stories we wear by collaborating to provide guides for Patagonia's most popular apparel repairs.
Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓A missing or broken pull on a zipper can make life difficult when you try to open and close your Patagonia jacket. This guide will show you a quick-fix method you can use in the field or as an interim solution until you can replace your slider. Don't have a zipper pull? A loop of very thin cord or string will not only work, but make MacGuyver proud.
WARNING! Small Parts. Patagonia does not recommend conducting these repairs on garments intended for children age 3 or under. Instead, we recommend return of the product for professional repair services.
For replacement parts or further assistance, contact Patagonia Customer Service.
