Last night I bought 3 zippers.
5 gauge, alluminum, brown tape.
The screen accurate thing. They are not TALON or anything but that's OK. Actually, there is no brand on them, no letters at all. I like that.
Although alluminum, they work good and I am sending one at Wested to use in my next order.
But which one do you think was the right zipper pull?
this?
this?
this?
this?
this?
or this?
I will tell you later which one I think it was.

You know that's a trick question.
Epspecially if you don't have the films with you to reference!

Actually there was some screen cap from agent5 in which I think we can see the first or the second zipper pull.
The one erri is suggesting is one of those that I like.

Yes, but the NH jacket is a TOD jacket and now we are talking Rotla.
I understand wested has started offering nickel YKK zippers same as this one (only bigger)
I think it's the third one down.
I like that one too. I like the top 4.
I think most possibly it was the 1st or 2nd from the top.
The problem with this one
is that if you order jacket with zipper extending all the way to the bottom then when the jacket is unzipped this zipper pull hangs way over the bottom of the wind flap.
I can supply zippers like this
to anyone who pays something for my trouble and of course shipping costs.

I would have probably gone for the rectangular slider too.
The silver coloured ones Wested has from time to time are not YKK. (If they were it would solve a lot of problems). They are Riri zippers.

Wouldn't they all do that though?

this is kinda off topic but does anyone else ever cringe at the thought when they see "talon zipper"? thats just something i don't want to think of as a "talon"
