I never even thought about zipper maintenance or even bag maintenance until I really got into more camping and bushcraft. Did you use it on snaps also?
When the MOLLE system came out it came with the main pack and the Patrol Pack which was a smaller 25 literish capacity backpack intended for use as an assault pack and for short patrols. It was thought that the MOLLE patrol pack was too small so they made it slightly larger and made a couple more changes and called it the Assault Pack when they came out with the second generation MOLLE II system. The CFP90 also called the smaller pack the Patrol Pack but it was a square pack more like the WW2/Korean War era main packs.
Not for sure what the other guy was talking about I have several of those packs in the back inside in there two nylon straps and should have had a footprint piece of thin plastic and a 1/4” foam slid in it if not that may be the difference and honestly I have never thought about zipper maintenance but makes sense. Already got on Amazon and found it and ordered myself a tube to do all my packs
Yeah, this one had a piece of black foam in the back compartment, but it was ripped and a piece was missing. Figure I can get another piece of foam. I never thought about zipper maintenance either, but sometimes they get hard to pull when they get some dirt in there.
I have always use chap sitck to lube up zippers. It doesn't freeze in the cold.
