Beyond SOFIC – Mystery Ranch Introduces New IR Compliant Zippers For SPEAR Packs

Working with YKK, Mystery Ranch has introduced the first IR-Compliant Urethane Coated Water Resistant Chain. As you can see, they’re also color matched. This is a really big deal for the SPEAR pack program as Mystery Ranch pushes toward full IR-compliance.

In case you’re wondering about the Black pulls, it’s because they’re cast Zinc with Black Metal Oxide coating, which is much harder then the enamel paint on many color matched sliders. These zipper pulls last about six times longer than enamel coatings.

  1. Forgive me on being that guy, but I think it was meant to note the zipper slider coating. The non metal pull looks like it has an interesting retention setup too though.

    That toggle and d-ring situation is one of those “how has no one thought of that before?” things. I don’t have trouble with zippers opening up on their own, but if you have had that happen I’m sure that would make you paranoid.
