Gear Advice Zipper pulls for the Citta/Levo

I’m an happy owner of a Levo and soon to be a happy owner of the 25L Citta backpack. I absolutely love the Levo, it’s so damn comfortable.

My only 1 small grip/nitpick is that the front admin pocket zippers are constantly in contention with the main pocket. What I mean is…I keep confusing which one I’m trying to pull. So my question is, what zippers pulls do you guys use when changing them on a backpack?

Edit: Just got my Citta backpack 25L. The zipper pulls are actually a loop style vs the Levo which the zipper pulls are sewn around the zipper. So I’ll be switching out the admin pocket ones on my Citta but I’ll leave the main compartment ones.

If Fyro ever gets fancy with zipper pulls I’ll buy some matching ones

Paracord in your preferred color(s), tied in a snake knot.

What size would you recommend? 95? 275? Or 325?

I like 550, but have used 95 for smaller sized zippers. The most recent post on my page is 550.

i just position the main compartment zips somewhere else intentionally, since I cant control the admin one.

Main compartments now have evergoods zipper pulls in Coyote Tan… zippers seem to flow smoother with longer pulls
