Have any of you who bought this been annoyed by the zipper on your lips....cold, scratchy, uncomfortable?? I move a lot working construction.

Yes...the zipper on your lip is not the issue as much as it just not staying in place when fully zipped. The material itself has been no issue for me while in the field; I work in film production, the biggest compliant is no fastening clip or button to hold it in place when fully zipped. hope this helps.

I replaced the same suit and i didn't see a lot of difference from the last zipper. I didn't have a problem with the old zipper or new zipper. The zippers worked good on my suits.

I'd say you are very shrewd to ask this....I love the product and own two, but yes, the weakest link in this product is the zipper. I would recommend being careful with the zipper and not pulling too hard on it, otherwise it is a great product. When the zipper went kaput on my first one of these, we were able to take the cloth part to a seamstress who rezippered it for us, so there is a fix.

To be honest, I've had to struggle with the main compartment zippers of the main compartment when the cooler is full (I NEVER overfill the cooler). The zippers have never totally failed, though. I'd escalate back to the company and ask for a replacement.

I have the one with the zipper and the clasps. Zipper up the side is not bad. Clasps at the crotch are very uncomfortable.

one of the zippers got stuck on mine closed with my license and debit card in it. I tried with vice grips and pliers and only exploded the zipper handle. I ended up cutting a small corner of the inside of the pocket to get my stuff out. Once they stick close I think they're done forever. I will probably update my review about this now

yeah..it is very uncomfortable to wear. I do not wear it regularly like I should. Just too uncomfortable.

the zipper is a little bit above the edge. I'm sure if you move it a little bit above it will not scratch the floor. It's not that sharp either.

Good question. Never had that problem, but the zipper on mine got stripped a couple of months ago so I'm getting a new one just like the old one. Great little bag though, no complaints on mine, got a lot of good use out of it.

I haven't had that issue. I've worn them for 3 hour runs. Now the part that touches the top of the ear to wrap around the back get just a tad tender, but I have a feeling that is impacted by my winter hat pushing on it. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Overall, they are a great buy!

I think you will likely be too warm once you warm up. If it's practical to do so, you could wear the jacket for your warm up and then take it off. With the full length zipper, it isn't hard to take off.

It does suck in when I breathe in through my mouth. Got slightly warm. Depends on your environment too-- too hot and it may be not as comfy.

I think it goes on quite easy. Once in a while I have trouble with getting the back all the way up, but just takes practice. I wouldn't do the zipper myself. Where the zipper is is a weak point. It will wear out sooner. Plus have you ever been putting something tight on with a zipper, and zipped up skin. Ouch. I really like the non zipper one and found it easier to put on than I expected.

The tightness is the one, possible complaint the user might have . . . in a word. I should add that others say "No," but all three of mine do it. They do loosen up after a while, but I've never found the tightness to be a prob. As stated elsewhere, the co does stand behind their product and will replace, practically at the "drop of a hat." Call`em if there's a cont'd prob.

I have not had that problem, nor has the guy who recommended it to me. I don't put it to aggressive use though. I love it, and its very comfortable to carry on your back while carrying other gear. Highly recommended for cost.

Mine was & did. My child was in the front zip vest & it kept moving up, under the chin. It was very uncomfortable & my child complained the entire time. This fixed the problem. No complaints & great boyancy.

I have had no problem with the zipper scratching my Ipad, if thats what your worried about. but I do have a thin, cover on the back and sides of mine to protect it. But even if I didnt have a cover on it, I wouldn't worry about it too much becuase theres enough room that it wont be right against the zipper and its padded enough to stay in place so it shouldn't move around to get scratched. Hope this helped.
