Zipper pull balls
Anyone know where you get those handy elastic loops with a ball (or 2) on the end to make zips easier to pull with gloves on?

OMS make them but Otter don't have them on their MS site any more

I have searched around but can't track them down

Press the ball out of a 'roll on' deodorant and drill a hole in it!

As long as you can make the knot big enough not to pull through in the soft rubber of the squash ball, or use a washer under the knot.

you can get the very fellas from B&Q. I bought some yesterday. At my B&Q you can get 6 inch or 9 inch bungee with a plastic ball on the end.

Hope this helps!
