The toppers are handmade by a fifth-generation family business in Beloit, Wisconsin, that’s been in operation since 1929. They are available in standard sizes ($139-$278) or are fully customizable.

Zipper And Snap Lubricant
Are snaps that won’t catch and zippers that jam because of dirt, corrosion, or fabric shrinkage causing you headaches? Iosso E-Z Snap Zipper & Snap Lubricant helps to renew outdoor plastic and metal fasteners so they operate smoothly again. E-Z Snap’s advanced formula is waterproof and heat- and cold-resistant. It doesn’t contain solvents, silicone, or Teflon. For snaps, apply a dab to one side and then snap and unsnap until the product is evenly distributed. On zippers, add a small dollop every 8 inches and then work the slide up and down until the lubricant spreads across the entire length. Beyond renovating older outdoor gear, E-Z Snap is ideal for protecting new equipment before it’s used. A 1.5-ounce tube costs $5.95.
