MaxpeditionSmall Zipper Pulls (6 Pack), Black

I have a 2dr jeep wrangler with a soft-top. I struggle with the zippers and the stock pulls always break. I got these and would highly recommend them to others. They've been on my jeep for at least a year and still going strong. Makes the zipper-pull so much easier!

Great zipper pull replacement

First off, the "small" size is really NOT small; they are big! This is the size most of us need. The size "Large" are huge and the cord on them is too thick for many zippers.These are excellent quality, as is typical with Maxpedition. Contrary to some of the reviews, the cord is not too short. You just have to wiggle it a little to get it threaded through. But the length is perfect, and this tightness prevents it from slipping off the zipper tab.To test the durability of these, I tried to break one of the zipper pulls, but couldn't, even when exerting considerable force against it. These are also the most ergonomic ones I've found. Bought three packs so that I have enough for all the large zippers on my Aer backpack, plus a stash for future zippered items. Very pleased.

These zipper pulls are well made they are sturdy and they usually make moving the zipper slider much easier than any other zipper pull I have tried almost all of the time they are utilized. The method used to attach/secure the pulls to the slider applies the pull's force used on the to move the slider in or near the center of the slider, as opposed to allowing the attachment area to slide easily towards the end of the zipper slider in the direction you are trying to pull it. This centered position for this pull occasionally makes the zipper slider bind and freeze on the zipper, instead of slide easily. All tolled, this pull is easy to use, and makes moving the zipper sliders easy to action with a thumb and finger pinch, or a single finger slid into the pull's rubbery loop. I would highly recommend them, and I will be buying more of these Maxpedition Zipper Pulls.

(Similar review to my “large size“ review.)Beautiful and functional upgrade for my bags and backpacks. They look REALLY nice compared to the usual knotted paracord. A bit pricey, but a $100-$250 bag or pack deserves to look it’s best, right? They don’t offer any physical leverage advantage over paracord, but they feel really nice in operation. They do stay put and are easy to locate versus paracord that can lay down or fall into a crease causing a momentary search. Also, paracord often rotates causing the knot to sit ON/AT the zipper slide instead of remaining consistently at the end the where you’re expecting it to be when you grab hold. Others have complained that the cord should be longer. I disagree. The tight squeeze passing the molded-pull thru the cord loop prevents ever losing the unit should it ever go slack and attempt to thread itself off the zipper slide. Perfect length to prevent loss. I’m actually impressed with the forethought and manufacturing length consistency/tolerance held here to provide this feature. This “small” size works on medium/normal size zippers. “Large” only works on the largest/chunkiest zippers (YKK #10?). The “large” cord is thicker diameter than the “small” size. It will not pass thru smaller zipper slides for installation on medium/normal size zippers. If in doubt, start by ordering the “small” before chancing it with the “large”. Time will tell how durable and abrasion resistant these will be.

Great solution when replacing broken zipper pulls!

I’ve been a long time customer of Maxpedition productsAs always, they deliver top quality gear. Any chance you get to upgrade to something more comfortable, more user friendly, totally worth it with their product

I initially got this to replace the zipper pull that broke from my dog's backpack. I love these so much I got 2 more packs to replace the pulls for my travel bags too. They are sturdy and offers an easy grasp (no more fumbling!) for quick access to the bag's content. I feel the bags will fall apart before these zipper pulls will give way.
