Needs sprung from “manufacturers’ trouble”-Story behind STOL25
As most tape adjusters have narrow slits, it is difficult to remove the tape once its end is sewn to prevent fraying. So backpack manufacturers told us “We want to have the tape adjuster which is easy to insert the tape through even after the end is sewn, and tape hardly comes off while using”.
Our open ladder STOL25 was sprung from such “manufacturer’s trouble”. This STOL25 is designed to be used as normal tape adjuster (Pic.1), but you can also enlarge the tape slit by opening the flip as in Pic.2 so that you can easily insert the tape through the slit even after the tape end is sewn! After putting the tape, pull the tape toward B (Pic.3) to close the flip.
One backpack designer liked this product very much and said “This product will make sewing process easier and can be used with 3-way bag!” For the bag with detachable shoulder belt, STOL25 can be used instead of the conventional combination of hook and swivel.
