Wal-mart, or just go to Home Depot for some of that nifty cable.

Is it the metal (or plastic) zipper slider itself that broke or just the Fob they give you for a little something extra to pull on? If it is just the pull you can make all kinds of things work. I made mine out of a section of tubular nylon webbing. If the slider itself broke you can replace it, but it's a pain if you don't know what your doing.
Churchkey beat me to it and in fact I like his ideal better.

I take the fob style & the key chain type off.
I use small zip ties & make the loop as long or short as necessary. [/Quote]

I do appreciate the effort, but none of those sites have anything that I would attach to my alpinestars leather jacket.(BusaCruise @ Nov. 14 2006,03:14)dunno which google you use...

I don't want it to look ghetto with neon zip ties or huge chrome rings (70's). I just want an oversized black plastic or rubber pull.
The jacket has 5 zippers, I only need 2 pulls. If I did them all with zip ties or rings, I would look like a Christmas tree.
perhaps you need to email alpinestars and inform them of their crappy zipper pulls and request replacements?
My AGV and Vanson jackets al have pull plenty long and sturdy enough to have never had one "break / tear/ or get lost".
Personally those rings wouldn't be half bad on jacket pockets...those are always the ones that are tough for me to get open while riding....hmm
But there was one that was clear plastic...I think it was the first link... you get get 3 of them for 14.00 .........might be worth a try.
unless clear is ghetto? I dunno.
