Thank you for the video. It's actually so simple, but many packrafters still do it wrong. Many of my customers don't want to buy a packraft with a Tizip because they are afraid it could damage the zipper. I always explain to them that the zipper has a very long service life if you take care of it and pay attention when loading and unloading. One important point is still missing from the video. After the tour, the zipper must always be dried thoroughly, as a damp zipper can become porous due to bacteria. In my opinion, this is the most important point in zipper care after regular greasing.
Best regards. Tom

I agree, this can happen in a matter of months but they will last years of regular use if cared for

So I just got my bought and got over excited and went out on the river twice without having done this. Will I have caused any irreversible damage to the zipper?

Did you use the zipper? I don't lube mine but I never open it
