Disappointing. With all the zipper problems snagging on the old ones, why they didn't fix that on the "upgrade"!?

I hear you only get it caught in the zipper once.
How intuitive! Actually happened. Once!I hear you only get it caught in the zipper once.
As ridiculous as it may sound, they do make “zipper lube” which can be applied. I typically just spray some silicone grease and work them back and forth once a season or after a good cleaning. Heard you can even use graphite from a pencil.

Good old candle wax frees up the corroded zippers I haver come across. Good for windows in their frames too. And...... it smells nice.

Beeswax also for the above listed. Old window slides and patio door bottom rails that stick. It works very well.Good old candle wax frees up the corroded zippers I haver come across. Good for windows in their frames too. And...... it smells nice.

Have you tried to spray interior of the panniers wit plasti-dip or something similar to protect it against water? Or it is not good idea?

I was wondering about spraying the outside with Scotch Guard.
