Return To Backpacks FAQ Archive   How can I replace the zipper on my backpack? Answered By Editor If the zipper on your backpack is worn out or broken you need to follow some simple steps for replacing it. Categorize what type of zipper your backpack uses: * Conventional zippers are designed having two fabric strips connected at one end and stops on the other end preventing slider to run off the zipper. * Invisible zippers are similar to conventional zippers having two fabric strips connected at one end only. Zipper tape covers the mechanism of the zipper visible only on its reverse side. * Separating zippers are created with bottom stops uniquely designed allowing the separation of fabric tapes like that of the zipper in jackets. Learn every part of the zipper to determine which part are replaceable materials: * Tape refers to the woven cloth or fabric of the zipper. * Teeth are vislon pieces in which the zipper pull runs along opening or closing the zipper. * Coil is the continuous coil located on the tape edge able to open or close when zippers pulls runs along it. * Top stops are removable or replaceable metal or plastic piece located on the top of coil or teeth stopping the zipper pull. * Bottom stop is found on the base of separating zippers. It cannot be repaired or replaced. * Zipper pulls are replaceable material that enable you to open or close the zipper. * Reversible zipper pull can be used for a regular zipper pull replacement to create a reversible zipper. * Add-on zipper pull is an extra tab piece incorporated on the existing zipper pull for easier zipper opening. If the zipper of your backpack is found to be defective during your purchase, then go to the store where you bought it and ask for a replacement. This should be covered by the warranty service. If you know the right zipper for your backpack, go to sewing stores to replace worn out or broken zippers. keywords: Backpack | Backpacks | Bags | Backpacking | Pack | Backpacker | Camping | Zipper Custom Messenger Bags Business Messenger Bag Flap Messenger Bag
