Does this have a "side" zip - i.e. it opens out like a suitcase, making packing and unpacking easier?

It unzips all the way around. The lid is attached at the base. Similar to a suitcase.

Yes it does have a fully opening side zipper. It is not a traditional top loader. I love it!

It does! Best travel backpack I've ever owned. My friend and I purchased the same one to backpack through Morocco and Spain. Couldn't have been happier with it's functionality.

It unzips almost the entire way so the lid can flip back and open up just like a suitcase would. You'd be amazed at how much stuff you can pack into this bad boy!

Yes. It zips along the full length. You'll have complete access. Be advised: the placement of the compression straps are too far apart, but that is easy to fix.

Yes it zips open like a suitcase. It's very convenient to access all your clothes.

It has a zipper and does zip closed. There is also a zippered pocket on one side for storing small, flat or thin items.

It has a zipper on both sides, but not along the bottom. It is really big on its own though. My partner and child and myself all slept in it comfortably.

No, the second compartment at the top of the bag is zipped, but the inside compartments are not. I've had this bag for 2.5 years and love it!

yes it does, it opens from hinge to hinge, top and bottom that is, via a zipper. easy in and easy out by your person.

No. The top opening is a zipper. The buttoned flap has a small zippered pocket beneath it where I keep things I don't need to get at very often. I keep it unzipped and just reach underneath the flap to get at the small, not-much-used items I keep there.

No, the pouch opens with a zipper, and inside there are several elastic loops to hold items and a pocket behind the loops on each side. On the front of the pouch, there is also a mesh Velcro pocket.

there is not a side opening to the main compartment on this bag. other than that it is a great bag with plenty of storage and protection and is very comfortable to wear. it's a big bag.

No, there are 2 zippers that go down the sides, but the bottom of the bag doesn't unzip. Best you could do would be to open it completely and lay each half flat and use blankets on top.

I checked my bag and you can open the zipper from either end. Therefore, you can open the bottom portion to allow your feet to 'breathe' while keeping the side zipped. I hope this answered your question.

Yes it does. The zipper to close the doors are my main gripe. Very hard to zip at certain points, almost to a point of ripping. Other than that, the tent held up well for NY State October camping.

Yes it does, the left side (if you have the logo facing you) is the only non-zippered side. I usually only unzip the top portion and slide my ipad in.

It does I unzip on three sides and opens like a book. I've had mine since December 2012. I carry it everywhere and it is still in great shape.

No, they don't have that. I open with a sliding pinch below the zipper so I don't stretch the top in trying to open bag.

It does not, but it is a deep bag and having no zipper was never a problem. My daughter just traveled to Dominican Republic and said bag was a lifesaver!

Yes- the front of the pack also zips open and folds down- almost like a luggage piece- so you can access the main compartment from the front of the pack.
