TiZips – Pros and Cons

TiZips are great.  They give you access to your packraft, allowing you to store a lot of gear in your packraft for multi-day adventures.

BUT, there are some down sides….

TiZips require a LOT of care and maintenance, and can be prone to failure.  A failed TiZip can be extremely difficult to repair or replace.

We do not offer warranties or guarantees for TiZips.
