The "ghost loops" that Jumpshack sells are for cypres installation and cost about $10 if memory serves. They are made from Type IV box weave and cypres cord and the loops are threaded through the cutters. When the bodkins are routed through the bottom grommets, they also go through the loops which later "Laso" the closing loops and pull them back through the cutters. They don't make very good "ghost loops" in the sense of what Rob is suggesting, when I've had to use ghost loops (required for an Excalibur with a round reserve and a cypress) I've made each loop like a figure eight so that I can temp the resulting bottom loop and thread my pull up cords through the top loop with out effort.
I still prefer Steel Bodkins, I find the make for better pack jobs (allows you to better see all the flaps aligned and where you need to redistribute the bulk).
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
