Guide Edition S30 zipper pulls

[gadgets]

Today, I added the zipper pulls (that come with the bag) to my GE S30. I noticed a couple of things.

* It does not come with the plastic zipper pulls; only the cords.
* There are 9 zipper pulls in total in the bag, but only comes with 8 zipper pull cords.
* The cords feel stiffer than other TB cords that come with the plastic pulls.
* The pull cord is coyote color, not black as in other bags.

I just followed TB video on adding zipper pulls (the first one).

I wonder if there're other ways.

It is indeed part of the GE design for the Synapse and the Synik to have no plastic zipper pulls and I think it resonates more with the old school rucksack vibe of the GEs (same holds true for using coyote instead of black).

Here is a thread with some more suggestions how to knot the paracord.

I'm literally looking at my GE S25 and i counted 8 zipper pulls, not 9.

There are 2 pulls for the bottom pocket, and one for the laptop compartment. Those are differences from S25 (2 more than S25).

Edit: Actually there is one additional zipper inside the bag for accessing the laptop compartment but I am not counting it.

bartleby has it re: why there's no plastic parts included.

As for why there's 8 Cord Pulls and not 9: the interior laptop compartment plastic zipper pull is, in our minds, in a different category than the exterior metal pulls. It's not something we would add a Cord Pull to and we figured you all wouldn't either.

Thanks. For the record, there are 9 external zipper pulls (for 7 zippers) and 1 internal zipper (total 10 zipper pulls!). The external zipper for the laptop compartment looks also like a metal zipper. I am not complaining; I am just sharing my observation. I would not add a cord to the external laptop zipper, so 8 is fine for me.

You're right! Thank you.
