Backpack zippers

[Timoyoungster]

Hi there.

Does anybody know if there is any info on the titanium backpack zippers? Are they already done or will the backpack still arrive with the carabiner pulls attached? (product description says carabiners, images show normal non titanium ones, which is confusing me) And if they’re not done, how long can we expect until they’re shipped pre-attached to the bag?

Because I’d like to order a backpack but really don’t want to change the zipper pulls after the fact (even if they’re making a tool for it).

They will most likely still get shipped with the carabiner attached. As far as I know they have not placed a modified reorder and they're still selling their first 40k units.

The backpack also comes prepacked in a chinese cardboard box, i higly doubt they will unpack and change the zippers themselves.

You need to be more patient, or pay attention when unzipping the carabiners. I only pull longitudinally and not laterally.

 

hope that helps and the backpack really is worth it!

i was actually wondering if there was any form of update on when the replacement pulls will arrive. i haven't heard anything in a while.

luckily mine are holding up fine, but also, it is getting close to travel season again, so they'll get a bit more stress tested this summer...

No Info given yet in WAN Show, Twitter and videos.

Got a few Theories.
They wil probably take their time with the changing tool to make it as easy as possible. Surely they wanna reduce RMAs.

Or they need to gather some money because it's gonna be super expensive. Maybe a few bucks for the material and shipping for ~30.000 units gonna be bad.
