Tough and functional! Make my bags easy to identify, and just look great, too. Tough zipper pull for tough bags. No worries about yanking zippers on overstuffed bags and pockets!

I bought the red ones for my purple PUP bag. Easy to see, easy to grip. American made paracord. I like that Red Oxx is directly helping Guatemalans with this product.
