Ouch who would know.. PM REI and Moose Coustomer service then purchase From REI as they have a return policy and if it doesn't work out - Send it back. But don't ask me I am not an expert

In general, in order for two bags to be mateable, the zippers have to be the same length, with the same size teeth and the same tooth-count..and the zippers have to unzip completely from top to bottom.

(Yeah, I know, that doesn't help you....)

IMO if it isn't the same brand and length the chances are very slim. Just a guess though. :confused:

Actually the chance that they will mate is pretty good, provided they use the same zipper. The dominant brand of zipper in the US these days appears to be YKK, so if the items have the same zipper, #10 YKK for instance, it's a pretty good bet you can get 'em to mate up. May not be as pretty as two items from the same manufacturer, but it'll work.

buy a bag local with a good return policy.
