I noticed the zipper was catching too. My husband has been the one using it so I'm not sure if its gotten any better.

I noticed mine would stick a bit, but if I folded back the zipper protecting flap all the way then it wouldn't catch anymore. So I flip it back, use the zipper, and flip it back down. No real problem :)

This is definitely a problem for ours. On one side, the front zipper catches the internal flap. We just stopped using that zipper and zip from the other side. It was too frustrating to keep fixing.

Depending on how long it was out. Mine was left out for two days in the heavy rain and it was soaked, but before that I had had it out in medium rain and it fairer quite nicely, the zippers are amazing to say the least. They hold against water very nicely, the fabric is OK, in medium rain it beads up for about a half hour and after that it starts to soak. I bought some waterproofer from big 5 and it works like a charm with my bag. I highly recommend this bag!!

I had a problem with it too. The zipper should have a spot inside the locking mechanism so that it wont open very easily. Mine unfortunately broke but that's because I probably had too much medicine in it.

I never had a problem with the straps but the zipper broke. It wouldn't connect back together and when I did get it fix, i couldn't put too much stuff in it because I will bust back open. It's a great bag overall.

I would get a protective case for it. I have mine in a case logic zipper case and keep it in my backpack that goes everywhere with me. Haven't had any issues so far.

I haven't had any issues with it. I love this bag. Holds everything I take with me and it was CHEAP...but not cheaply made!

Mine has been fine other than the headphone port fell off but is pretty easily sewn back on. No issues with straps or zippers.

I have two of these units and one had a zipper that gets a little stuck from time to time. It doesn't amount to enough for me not to use the cooler. I may just have to play with it for a few extra seconds. The fact that the cooler works better than any of this kind that I have ever owned makes the zipper issue very minor in the big picture. I still recommend the product.

Hi Tallyginger. Nope didn't get that far. I bought as a gift for my partner. She opened the box. Loved it a first. Opened the zipper and the zipper failed. Zipper opened in front and behind where it was supposed to be closed. So we didn't look any further. I re boxed and sent it back.

After the first washing and air drying it did not appear that the cover shrank. Yet when we put the insert in the zipper failed. It would zip just so far so I used a safety pin across the zipper to stop it from going off track. It seems that their is a problem with the zipper. I would like to look into getting a replacement as well. Have you contacted anyone to see if replacement of the cover is viable?

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.

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

I haven't had any problems yet. I really can't answer that one. I only go from the car to home when it's raining. The only thing I can tell you is I love it. It's the greatest Backpack I had.

We had the same problem you mentioned with backpacks over the years. My son carries a heavy load of school books, binder and a computer on a daily basis. He carries this gear all day, from class to class and through a long commute. Before we bought this backpack, he regularly went through more than one backpack per school year. But this backpack is actually quite strong. My son is currently using his second SwissGear Sherpa backpack because the first one dramatically outperformed every other backpack he had ever owned, lasting several years. When it finally did give out - it was the zipper, but it had done such a great job, we searched for (and bought) another just like it.

Not at all. I had the same concern but my it isn'tand mmy daughter also takes it to school to play with during before and after school. Only reason why I mention that is because she can't stand when her bag is too heavy. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Yes, I love it. The only problem is, my dog knows how to get it unzipped, so I have to lock the zippers together with her leash. Lol.

Though it does not zip, I have not had an issue with it falling out. I also carry it in my tote and it's always intact when I take it out. Hope this helps.
