what's the deal with the zipper pulls? on mhw's website and in all the photos of the jacket, the zipper pulls are little bubbly molecule looking things. but, if you watch certain videos or go to certain gear review websites, the zipper pulls are completely different... less quirky tear drop shaped pulls. jon webb, help a brother out!

bummer. I was really into those weird little zipper pulls. not a deal breaker or anything like that. in fact, I just bought mine today but any chance there's a few of them lying around the Mountain Hardwear offices? you're the best, Jon.

mik. Very observant! So, the deal is that the original samples and early tester models came with a zipper pull that looked like a bushel of grapes or something (molecules). The reps and powers that be basically vetoed that version as soon as we saw it and the current zipper pull was adopted. Let me know if you have any other questions!
