    Custom Sewing?

    I've got a syn Big Agnes, and I'd like to put a center zip in it, but I don't trust myself to do this.

    Anybody want to give it a go, and make a little $?

    Sewing in a zipper is really quite easy. I can't offer to do it atm since I ma moving and I don't know when I'll get back to thread injecting. But any reasonably competent gear maker should be able to handle this. I did a vid on installing zippers. It is somewhere in the archives.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    That lets me out.

    It will need some sort of baffle, too.
