Just wondering if anyone has tips on preventing bag zips from salting up and sticking?
I keep my bags in the car while kiting or in the brick and tile garage when stored but it still keeps happening. I like to look after my gear so find this really frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.
I had the same thing a few years ago on a good board bag (wipika) that i didnt use for a few months, It needed some severe persuading to unzip for me! I was like a rabid dog frothing at the mouth trying to get it open and get on the water. I now use silicon spray on all my zips and have no probs, also occasionally i wash the board bags in fresh water, let them dry out and spray the zips.
vinegar
white vinegar in a spray bottle disolves the salt and frees the zip
smells better than wd40 too
I used silicone spray for years, but an old bloke put me onto candle wax.
Just rub it along the closed zip then open and close the zip a few times. Works a treat and no mess!
why don't they use good zips, never had a wetsuit zip jam up on me, just a thought, but it might just work:-)
White vinegar...
Then Vaseline... Lubricates zips and permanently prevents corrosion.
The thread title reads "Bag zip stuck"...
Every time I see it, I can't help but think "We've got a bleeder!!" 
WD40 is actually really based for removing moisture it is a temporary lubricant, but it will actually eat at plastic and is hydroscopic so will attract moisture. I believe it was developed to prevent rust on rockets by displacing water.....;)
Vaseline has petroleum in it so although it works great and reples water it will over time break the plastic down, even silicon in a can has aerosol in it which burns melts plastic, so dry silicon or water based lubes are they way to go..... ;)
Not sure if I want any of that stuff near my canopy 
Oops this is a kitesurfing forum my bad.....!
