#3 Double-Pull Zipper Slider
Don’t let a worn out zipper ruin your well loved gear. These replacement sliders will fit the #3 zipper tape used on all Zpacks tents, sleeping bags, and accessories. They have a pull tab on both sides, so the zipper can be accessed from the inside or outside of your gear.

All Zpacks tents are designed with field replaceable zipper sliders. Being able to replace the sliders in the field allows you to stay protected and to stay on trail.
If your zippers are not sealing correctly the usual culprit is the metal on the sides of the sliders has worn down. The metal naturally wears down over time, especially in dusty trail conditions. Luckily they are easy to replace on trail:
- Cut the ends of the zipper tape so the old sliders can slide off.
- Push on the new sliders with your fingertip. The sliders have grooves in the sides which must match the orientation of the zipper tape. The bumpy side of the zipper tape needs to fit in the grooves on the sliders. If the zipper has two sliders (like a tent door), make sure they zip together evenly at the center.
- Tape the ends of the zipper tape so the sliders can't slide off. Our Dyneema Composite Fabric repair tape works well.

Tiny Cord Lock (5 pack)
They are indeed tiny and they hold the yellow 1.3mm line very well.
– Diane S., ★★★★★
These ultralight cord locks are a perfect match for your thin draw cords. Our cord locks have a strong spring which grips thin cord well, and the shape is easy to press without hurting your fingers.
The hole size is about 1/8" (3 mm). It will fit two passes of our 1.2 mm Z-line cord.

Micro Lineloc
Great little tool. If you are not a knot guru, then these are for you. I use them regularly on my Zpacks tarp and they work well and hold their position.
– Klaus K., ★★★★★
These linelocs are the smallest and lightest available for thin guylines. They are easy to add to existing guy lines without modifying your shelter.
Micro linelocs allow you to adjust your guy lines to 50% of the original length and are are best for shorter guy lines. They will hold tight on our 1.2 mm Z-Line cord.
Our Lineloc V with loop is another great adjuster that allows you to cinch your lines down 100% and is less tangle prone.
Lineloc V Guy Line Adjuster
Got these for my tarp and they’ve been working quite well. It makes things much easier when pitching.
– Brian T., ★★★★★
These custom made linelocs will fit thinner 1 to 2.3 mm cord. They have a tighter “V” shaped groove which holds tight on thin lines. Our 1.3 mm Z-Line cord is an excellent choice.
They work well with long or short guy lines, and they are less prone to tangling compared to Micro Line Locs.
These need to be sewn on to your gear project. If you prefer to retrofit linelocs without sewing, our Line Loc V with Loop can be looped on to existing tie outs.
Lineloc V with Loop
If you want the lightest guy lines possible with the convenience of easy adjustability then these Lineloc V adjusters are your answer. These linelocs are custom made with a tighter “V” shaped groove which holds tight on thin 1 to 2 mm cord. Our 1.3 mm Z-Line cord is an excellent choice.
They work well with long or short guy lines, and they are less prone to tangling compared to Micro Line Locs.
These Lineloc V's can be looped on to the tie outs of an existing shelter using a lark's head knot. They are also available for sale without the loop here.
1/2" Side Release Buckle
These high quality buckles have a slim profile but are much stronger than the generic half inch (10 mm) buckles you may find elsewhere. They can handle being tensioned down tight so they are great for gear customization. We use them on our backpack's top strap and sternum strap. The male side adjusts, and the female side does not.
These buckles have a wide mouth and narrow prongs so they are easier to snap together.
1/2" Dual Adjust Side Release Buckle
Our side release buckles are slimmer, lighter, and stronger than the competition. Unlike normal 1/2" buckles these are adjustable on both sides. They have a wide mouth and narrow prongs so they are easier to snap together without fidgeting.
3/4" Dual Adjust Side Release Buckle
Our side release buckles are slimmer, lighter, and stronger than the competition. These are adjustable on both sides and are commonly used for backpack belt buckles. They have a wide mouth and narrow prongs so they are easier to snap together without fidgeting.
1" Dual Adjust Side Release Buckle
Looking to upgrade an existing buckle, or just need to make a replacement on a well loved backpack? Our side release buckles are slimmer, lighter, and stronger than the competition. These are adjustable on both sides and are commonly used for backpack belt buckles. They have a wide mouth and narrow prongs so they are easier to snap together without fidgeting.
These buckles are used on all of our backpack belts.
3/4" Center Release Flat Clip
A flat buckle that doesn't rub you the wrong way. This slim buckle works with 3/4" (20 mm) binding tape. We use this on the neck of our sleeping bags, and on some clothing items where a protruding buckle would be in the way. The male side adjusts, and the female side does not. The buckles will break under high tension so they are best in applications where they aren't under a lot of stress.
1/2" Ladder Loc Buckle
Switch out your old ladder loc buckles for a stronger and lighter option. These allow you to adjust webbing for shoulder straps, top straps, load lifter straps, side straps etc. Our ladder locs have a low profile and are at least twice as strong as the run-of-the-mill variety. These buckles can hold 60 lbs (27 kg) of weight without bending or snapping.
