The common problem seems to be the zipper breaking. Does this bag have a better zipper that won't break?

Not sure how long the zipper will last, but the vac replacement bags that I've gotten usually last for at least 2-3 years. The bag itself wears out because of use or the zippers do break after awhile.

I can't say it won't ever break, but mine have lasted quite well. Also replacement bags are fairly reasonable -- unlike another I've owned.

seems okay. i replaced a Craftsman Blower bag with your Toro bag. The Craftsman bag didn,t stand up, to the lawnmower running over it!

Not that I'm aware of. I bought a heavy duty zipper and used a sewing machine. I've been through a couple and the always seem to break.

I think that the zipper is the same as the original one that came with the blower/vac. I have been through about 3-4 bags and it seems that the bags always wear out around the zippers themselves. So either the zipper breaks and or stops working properly or the fabric around the zipper wears out from all the leaves being shot at it. I just have replacement bags handy in case just that situation ever arises.

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.

I've had mine for 11 months and my only complaint is that the fabric just inside of the zipper overtime has snagged and the zipper gets stuck! Tug on it enough and the zipper is freed - then have to cut the string it was hung on.

Have not had a problem. I own the bag and use it for college( read carrying around heavy textbooks across campus and taking on and off frequently for class/lunch/retrieving cellphone/recreation center).

This is really good bag and I like mine too but the zipper on the bag has problem after used for 3 days. I contacted the seller and then they send me a new one. But you need to pay the shipping fee back to them.

Hi, we haven't had a problem with zipper, almost a year since my wife bought it. Of course we only put the necessary stuff (laptop 15.6 inch, tablet, cables, keys, agenda, pencils), nothing that could inflate the product and cause a zipper break. We are satisfied with it, and it´s comfortable for your back. I Hope this helps.

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.

It all depends on the weight of what you have in the bag. If it just clothing in the bag, I have not had that problem, You just have to use common sense!

I never had a problem with the straps but the zipper broke. It wouldn't connect back together and when I did get it fix, i couldn't put too much stuff in it because I will bust back open. It's a great bag overall.

My daughter has been using this for the last year and a half for carrying her stuff for speech competitions. She stuffs a 17" computer, iPad, chargers, jackets, high heel shoes, a change of clothes, snacks, hats and gloves, etc. In other words, a lot! She has never had a zipper issue that I am aware of. She absolutely loves this bag. It still looks brand new, but it was also not used every day, but a few days a week. Still, any zipper can only handle so much. You cannot expect it to stretch when it is not capable of doing so. These are very strong, 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.

No mine has many zippers and two broke right away. Others are okay and fanny pack works for phone etc when I go riding

It doesn't. I've had it since the summer of 2014, and the seams are becoming a problem, leather is separating, and the internal materials are cheap. See my review for photos and other complaints... great value for $100, if it held up... but having to buy a new one 7 months later makes this a cheap $200 bag.

I haven't had an issue yet with multiple trips to the range. I pack it heavy as well. Nothing has fallen apart yet. I have been very pleased with the bag.

I have not had trouble with this bag doing that. My old one fell forward many times so I'm glad I don't have the problem anymore.

No, not at all. It's a good looking bag, get it and return it if u dot like. It's light and well builded. I looked many bags, and this one is the best by far. Check on YouTube someone did a review about the bag and brought on 2 different bags, that's also popular. I think after seeing that I knew what I needed. Good luck

I have had this bag for about 8 months and use them weekly to haul groceries. I have had them loaded down quite heavily and had no problems with the zippers or any other part of the item.
