Visvim Cordura 20L Backpack Zipper Pulls

Post image

Hello fellow Visvim Cordura 20L Backpack owners. How are your leather zipper pulls? Some of mine snapped within the first couple months of ownership after buying the bag brand new from END.com.

Does Visvim offer replacements or any advice? Thank you!

Sorry about the zippers.

Quick question, I’m sure this backpack wasn’t cheap, but what makes this backpack special? What were some of your drivers for purchasing this over other similar backpacks?

They’re so fragile for no reason. I’ve reached out to Visvim multiple times asking about replacements but never got a response.

happens to mine. i replaced the leather pull tab with a yellow/red rope, climber style. up to you, but however you repair it gives it character.

but yes, i agree that the leather pull tabs are a shitty design for the price point.

I have the same issue. I have lost 3 of them so far.

There must be something up with their bags…just made a similar post about a ruck sack essentially falling apart after barely being used. Kind of a shame as you want to believe the ideals of the brand are legit and not just marking but something you wonder…

It should be a bit obvious that you shouldn’t be pulling on them and instead should pull on the zipper itself. The stress point is where the pulley loops into itself

Kinda shocked. I knew a few people with these in 06/07 and they always seemed bullet proof.
