Try either WD-40 (oily) or silicone spray
(not oily, just slippery). I've had this sort of problem before. And
check to see if there is anything like a thread caught in the zipper
teeth.
Looking for ideas to unfreeze a zipper on a Griffins
pack. Frozen with either sweat or electrolytes, can't move it, hate to
cut into the pack which contains an easyboot, and who knows what else! Any
advice, Thanks, Kitty Longino NW Arkansas
