Is the zipper really as bad as all the reviews claim? How durable is the fabric?

We have had no problem with the zipper nor with the fabric. My daughter uses this backpack for her larger dolls, and they go through everything with her and everything she puts in them. It is sturdy, great color, everything is workable and usable. We love it.

The zipper is a little sticky but neither our toddler nor us have had any problems opening and closing it. We've had the back pack for about a year now. My toddler uses it daily to go to school and in trips (plane and road) and it has withstood the test of time. Looks as good as new. We are very happy with it.

We've had it for nearly 2 years now, and we haven't had a problem with the zipper. IWe have the gray/black one and the fabric is a tough a canvas that seems to be able to take a beating.

My zipper works just fine, so I think it's every individual quality differences. The fabric for me, I think it's all rit. But overall, if I had other options, this won't be my first choice.

Yes. The back pack itself is great but both the zippers broke in the one I had

It's durable cotton. I've had no problems with the material, but one of the zippers ripped apart when the pocket snagged on a protrusion. Rip-stop nylon might be more durable, but I like the covert nature of these pants. My primary criticism is that they're a bit baggy, but they'll prove far more durable than Dockers.

The zipper is like in a heavy jacket. It's a little hard to zip on the front part but if you push down on the top while zipping it's fine. There is also a back section you can use that seems to zip better.

its pretty durable. My daughter shes 2 dragged it up and down the sidewalk when I thought my mom was watching her. she couldn't pick it up so she just dragged it. we take it hiking with us and everything. I haven't had any problems with the zipper or anything, and my kids are fascinated with zippers so the zippers get a work out (I have a one and two year old about to be 2 and 3)

Shawn, My zippers blew out in the first week. There are other brands I would look at. I picked up another brand that can withstand the use that the Teton couldn't. Don't let the seeming reasonable price suck you in. I just ate the tent. The customer service folks wanted me to do the mail it back baloney but the time and effort would negate the "seeming" good price. Hope this helps.....:)

well, I'm 4'9 and 110lbs. And the zipper broke the first night with just me in it which ended up me sleeping on the ground and just using it as a blanket. I only move minimally too. Even if you fit, it might not hold up.

The zippers haven't caused me any issues thus far. I am sorry if that doesn't help much.

The mesh is very, very fine. I've never had any problem at all with the zippers. Use them weekly and continue to love them.

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

Hello; well I have it for 6 months already and so far It is durable for me and I use it to carry heavy books. I love it because it has many pockets where I can be organize and it help me with my back because it is easy to wear.

I've had mine for a year. I use it for work. I stuff it w work stuff and snacks then bungee cord it to the back of my motorcycle. I throw it around, expose it to weather and it still looks brand new. The comfortable padding hasn't worn yet either. Whoever says it's poor quality must have a really, really, really nice backpack! And def didn't pay $50 bucks for it..

I have one of these, I got it a few months ago when I moved from Georgia to PA with my then kitten. I have used it several time since then when family cat-sits for me. I have had no problems with the zipper, I don't know what the problem with it could even be, I have been very happy with it and have recommended it to friends and family.

We have 5 so ours gets wash a lot. We have had ours a little over a year an wash it weekly. So far it's held up great.. I don't even think the color has really faded. The only thing I have issues with is the zipper. It likes to hide so I put a safety pin on it to solve that issue

The zippers seem decent. Whenever I get a new item with any kind of zipper, I take a piece of paraffin wax and wax up the zipper really well. It helps the zipper function and keeps it from deteriorating as well as helps it resist water seepage in the rain. I've had this for over five years and the zippers are still doing great.
