Yeah, it's the zip that keeps the foam in. Thanks for the reminder, Hebe did a great job patching my trousers last year! I'll drop her and Alpkit a message to see if that might be an option. It seems like. It should. Work but cause its a taco pad there's very little play in the fabric of the pad so imagine it would be under a lot of strain.
Thanks all. Will make do until I start sport climbing again and then get it sorted. Hope the info and recommendations are useful for somebody in the meantime!
:chair:hey, Hebe here! I acctually just did a zip replacement on a pad and I thought it turned out pretty well! Although the guy I did it for hasn't re-stuffed and used his pad yet.. but it looked the part.£40 +p&p or free drop off/collection for a zip replacement. hebeknowles@googlemail.com or via my website www.hk-madeinsheffield.co.uk. Cheers for the kind words everyone! Even if my brother is biased!
