    I saw this gadget in the aerostich catalog. It's a solid looking metal replacement zipper pull for all those broken zipper pulls. I've got several that have broken off on various pieces of gear and this looks to be a better solution than using keyrings.

    Interesting. The Aerostich ones look a lot more solid. Do you ever have trouble with the REI ones breaking?

    I've never had one break. I think the Aerostich one, which I had seen in the catalog as well, would be a good permanent repair for certain applications. For "emergencies", I carry the ones from REI as they are cheap and light. "Saved me" a few times.

    I keep a few in the tank bag and one in a jacket pocket.

    It's a good policy. I had not considered that but think i"ll pick some up to carry with me as well since having these pulls break is such a common occurrence.

    FWIW, The one that Josh gave me two years ago is still holding up just fine.
