Are the zippers made of metal. I do alot of saltwater jetty fishing

Zippers have held up well, they are not metal but seem to be a heavy duty plastic or poly. No rusting on the jetty!

They are plastic. They are not flimsy. They are solid. The teeth appear to be plastic as well.

The zippers are metal. The entire backpack is very sturdy. No issues whatsoever. have had the bag for over 6 months.

I agree with the other answer, they are durable and smooth never had an issue.The feel like metal but they have coating like most zippers that allow them to operate smoothly.

They are silk as is stated in the caption NOT ripstop. There are no zippers. There is a single Velcro fastener on the side that is sewn half-way closed. The ones I have do not, as one responded reported, have a drawstring.

The mesh is very, very fine. I've never had any problem at all with the zippers. Use them weekly and continue to love them.

They are metal. I don't mind them they are nice. Some reviewers didn't like them. It's a great bag.

Yes they have zippers:Bayes frabric protectant from home depot would be a good idea.

I agree with some of the other reviewers: I'd say they are water resistant. No zipper probs here. If you want the waterproof, crinkly polyethylene (plastic) layer type, Aller-Ease makes those as well. Search for ASIN: B0017060TM.

Yes. I think they are brass. This is a very well made backpack. My husband, who is not very "gentle", has been using his every work day for 2 years - and it still looks great and no rips or broken zippers!

Hi--they are on our boat so I can't check but I seem to remember that they just have elastic all the way around.

I have not had any trouble with the zippers. I did find however that I had to zip & unzip them several times before using. After that they worked just fine.

The zippers are plastic. I would say it's not waterproof (like in a downpour) but would be fine with water spray from being on a boat. I haven't used mine yet, but I can say it's light weight, has what seems like good construction and has a couple of zippered compartments.

Well, they will fit but it is a little snug. The zippers they put on this bag are extremely poor quality and they became unusable after a few trips sliding 3700 waterproof stowaways in and out of the bag. I am currently using a relatively inexpensive ugly stick bag which is slightly larger than this one and it has been holding up great after spending many hours on the water since purchasing it. The only thing I liked better about the design of the ready 2 fish was the built in can holder, but in the trash it went where it belongs since it is not durable enough for somebody that fishes several times a week.

They are all plastic, except for the fabric around the two zippers, so I would think no.

Appear to be. Mine have never rusted or tarnished, not even the end clips. They are definitely metal, not plastic or nylon.

I do believe they are made of Nylon. Very sturdy and solid. They worked very well. I felt very safe.
