Broken Zip Pulls

All the zip pulls on my gear are breaking, is there any replacements I can buy???

This wouldn't be on Dainese gear, by any chance...?

Whenever it happens to me, I try to find a small key ring and feed it through the bit on the top of the zip closer that the pull was originally fitted to and then, if necessary put something through the key ring to grab onto.

Once upon a time, Graham Tiso used to sell black plastic zip pull extensions but they don't seem to stock them anymore.....

Schtum,

...it sure is - I'm currently using all the spare keyrings in the house. But they are all different sizes.

That was the advice from VD rather than sending my stuff to get fixed - Feckers!!!

Was hoping to find something a bit better - Thanks anyway!!!

In the past I've used very small, thin zip ties - not the perfect solution but pretty good. But I've got Rukka stuff now so won't need that solution anymore

Sewing department in Peter Jones (they call it Haberdashery, whatever that entails) sell replacement pulls, but some of them don't have the real biker look. Cute shop assistants though!

Small cable ties or bootlaces.

Unless the loop has broken

2mm climbing cord. Been using it for years on all my gear.

That's the stuff - "bootlace"!

A paper clip will do in an emergency

Yes, some decent gear to start with.

Try your local 'Outdoor' type store. I'm sure Cotswold Camping or Blacks sell replacement zip pulls

Hein Gericke sell a superb little item called a Zip Mate.

There are two in a pack and they work really well, made in the states I think

Never leave home on a trip without a packet in my jacket.
