I read this bag is perpetually having problem with zipper. Is it true?

The first bag I received had a broken zipper. Through Amazon, the bag was quickly refunded and another was ordered. The second bag is working quite fine with no zipper issues. I really do like the bag and it is exactly as advertised.

Yes, I received the bag and the zipper for the main compartment broke immediately

Honestly, I've not experienced this issue but it is not my primary camera bag either. I have a spare camera in it. The workmanship seems first class and I have no complaints on that score.

Out of two chains for the main compartment, one is actually not working from the very first or second day. But I loved the bag, thats why never bothered to return it

I have not experienced that problem. I've had this brand about 5X now and all bags were fine.

Hi. I read some reviews where people reported this, but I have had no problems whatsoever. AND I have washed several batches of wool and also alpaca fiber in them (fine hairs)...got some stuck in the zipper a couple of times, but was able to release it without damaging the zippers. I really like these bags.

I think I may have hot-glued a strip of vinyl down there...whoops, just remembered, the zipper goes all the way across the bottom of the bag and I had a mishap when the zipper gave way and my gtr fell out of the bottom of the bag. Luckily it didn't suffer any horrific consequences. I ended up hot-glueing the zipper inside and out along the bottom. It'll never happen again! But, despite this pretty serious shortcoming, I do like the basic design and features of the bag more than most gig bags I've had. They just should NOT run the zipper along the bottom, it's useless to do that anyway. Hope this helps...

Perhaps I am fortunate, but have had no issue with the zipper. My objection is to the smell of the contents once heated. Again, it might just be me. It has done the job otherwisel

Yes I have the same problem My grandson Loves it but I wont let him use it cause its dirty so now it sits in the garage. I can't get the zipper to unzip at all!!!

If you mean, how secure is the zipper, I've had no issues it has a velco patch to seal it & it stays close :)

I have owned mine about a year now, the stitching is top tier and the bag itself is great. I am also a year round student and in the last year my bag has seen two LAN wars, been stretched to the limit, and used every single day without fail.

Yes. And unfortunately we are returning it. My daughter used it once and the zipper broke. :( Super cute bag...just not durable.

I've had it and used it extensively for over a year and it's getting better as time and usage passes. Zippers are easier to close and bag gets more comfortable.Your money will be well invested in this bag.

I had an issue with it coming apart at the seams. I emailed them pictures of the damage and a copy of the receipt and they shipped a new bag to me at their cost to Afghanistan with no problems. I just need to update my review of the bag that said the issues I had.

Not sure if I have the newest version, but I haven't had a problem with the zippers. They do seem cheap though

one of my main criticisms of the product. Mine seems to have loosened up a little with usage but I certainly understand what you are going through.check to be sure you are turning in the correct direction highlighted by the icons on the plastic sleeve.not to wish you any further headaches but after about 5 or 6 uses the zipper on my bag is starting to give out.

It's 600D and I can't find any identifiers on the zippers. I can tell you that I've used and abused this bag and have not had an issue with the zippers.

It sounds like you have a problem, either with the particular bag having been exposed to something foul, or your idea of what fine leather should smell like. After living with mine for a couple of months now, I am happy with every aspect: Appearance, smell and product utility. Very well made, luxurious bag.

We didn't have trouble with our zippers, but we only use our bags 3-4 trips per year. We zip slowly and don't let the children play in theirs. We've had them a few years now and they're still in fantastic shape.

I had this bag break, I don't remember how severely and you're correct about the zippers. I did carry lots in this backpack (~25 lbs) so normal usage probably won't hurt it too much.
