How's the stitching and material quality? And the overall build quality?Is Heavy Duty 1000 D nylon and have w/ YKK Zippers

The stitching seems solid except there are a few spots that I worry about where the bag can be tightened. I don't see a tag for Heavy Duty 1000 D Nylon and the zippers don't appear to be YKK. I actually have a problem with the material in the bag. There are pockets to place pens in but the material can be poked through and it completely ripped through on my bag. Also the bag is no where close to being waterproof.

The overall build is very good. The stitching and zippers on mine are good quality but I don't know what 1000D or YKY zippers are, so I can't answer that part. I bought one of these to use as a shooting bag then started using it for about everything so I bought another one.

As far as I can remember it was very well constructed, but smaller than it appears in the photo. Please check the dimensions compared to your needs. I gave mine to my son or I would double check right now. No can do as I am in Afghanistan. I will email him about the zippers and get you an update on how it has been holding up.

The description says it's 600D nylon. Zippers are not YKK but work very well. I do wish the bag had fold over flaps covering the zippers.I would say for 1/3 the price of a 5.11 bag, it's a great buy.

Hi Harold.. the zippers are sturdy and overall a nice bag. Outer layer looks bit cheap quality, but for the price its good

I just received my bag yesterday... I agree that the bag is very roomy with several compartments and completely disagree with the poor quality comment. Nothing poor about it - no strings dangling and "ALL" the zippers work fine. It's a GOOD bag but that's my opinion.

The inside of the nylon material is coated. The zippers would be my only concern because they are pretty big, but they are also YKK, if my memory serves me right.

Hey J the stitching is very durable I'm a landscaper and I wear it just about everyday in the cold & heat and around tons of dust and dirt.

Yes the zippers are reliable I have mine for over 3months now no problem thus far works perfectly

I wouldn't really think so. Unless you are a hardcore backwoods adventurer. Those types may have a preference but I would imagine it would only be in respect to super cold conditions but this sleeping bag is more of a summer bag. For the average joe wanting to do a little camping and wanting to purchase good gear, I don't think the zipper side matters a whole lot.

This is a durable pack. The material is a thicker nylon. Not sure how heavy you are packing but I've never had a concern with this dry bag.

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

The build on mine is solid, no loose stitching and build quality is solid. I use mine for my AR which is on the heavy side and my 12 gage over/under when I go to the range and have never had an issue.

I have had mine for about five months. Going back and forth to craft shows. Zipper still works fine and bag shows no sign of ripping. I would say that the bag quality is above par but it's not the greatest quality.

I got the $29 one, and it has a wider metal zipper then an average zipper. The teeth on the zipper are plastic, I think. If that is what the upgraded zipper is, then this bag has it. The zipper works, but not as good as the Coleman no-snag zipper.

Its a nylon bag. Pretty sturdy, more than you would expect. I haven't used it much at all but I would guess it would last as long as you don't expect too much.

I have not had any issues with the zipper on my bag. I haven't had the opportunity to use mine as much lately so, I don't have a lot of wear. Right now, everything is solid.

Not sure... it seems to be mostly nylon. It is very sturdy and a better quality than others I have ordered where the zipper comes off or tears out after a couple of uses. Sounds like a question for the manufacturer.
