Are the zippers, etc. on the bag reliable?

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

Hi Brian, from my experience I can say that the bag was quite sturdy overall. I gifted it to my dad for his laptop and I haven't heard any complaints from him :) for the price it's a great value. I spent more on another bag for myself and that one broke, so name brand and price aren't always an indicator of quality. I hope this is helpful :) happy shopping.

Zippers seem pretty sturdy, actually there is just one zipper on outside flap. I don't really like it, because its not very padded at all so would not do a good job of protecting laptop from a hard drop, etc. But the price is cheap so Its worth $12.00 I guess.

I've been using it for a couple of months with no issues. Materials seen to be of good quality. It's light and well made.

I found this bag to be pretty effective. It went through quite a heavy beating for two days, and though I haven't used it since, it went above and beyond serving the purpose I had for it, and for the price, I was quite pleased.

Well, I mean it depends on the frequency you use the zipper.....I think the quality of this lunch bag is fine and the zipper works OK, cos I just bought 2-3 months ago, and I don't use it very frequently....

I don't know, I got them for work, I can check in a couple of days....Sorry this doesn't help out now, but they are very durable. They get a lot of use at my work and I'm surprised that the zippers are holding up nicely.

The zipper seems pretty solid, we haven't given it too much use yet so I can't say if it holds up. The whole thing seems pretty sturdy, especially for the price!

The zippers seem decent. Whenever I get a new item with any kind of zipper, I take a piece of paraffin wax and wax up the zipper really well. It helps the zipper function and keeps it from deteriorating as well as helps it resist water seepage in the rain. I've had this for over five years and the zippers are still doing great.

Absolutely and most certainly. I just got my two new ones and that is the first thing I tried. It takes a little patience and practice. Keep the two tabs at the very, very end of the bag (red zipper tab at the back like a caboose) and make sure they remain close together. Then you can remove one side of the zipper through both tabs. Takes a little effort but nothing forceful.

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.

The zippers are all meeting at the bottom so if you do not zipper snug than yes but we have not had any problems with it. In future build would recommend the bottom have a 6 inch area then the zippers....

I agree with the other comments. I've had my bag for four months, with constant use(I use it as my school bag, tablet bag and a purse substitute). No sign of wear and tear yet.

I've never had a problem with the zipper but my Dog Haus is about five years old but it is my third one. I love them. The first one had a dog claw a huge hole in the mesh (he can't be kept in any soft crate, but the rest are fine in it). The second one got blown away in a micro storm (big tents ended 40' up in trees...). I've not had an issue with the zipper in any of the three tents, but not sure they still make them of the same quality...

Yes, easily! great bag, very durable. Considering getting another for when this one fails (if it ever will)

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.

We just bought this item (twice) in 2013 and the zipper works smoothly (so far, in about a month of use). The zipper and pulls are deep in the groove. It's not a real issue/flaw, just a peculiarity of the design. I guess it keeps the zipper from catching on things in a bag. It's a tiny annoyance, for people who have big fingers or little patience--or both! We'll see how it holds up in longer use.

I use it very well and haven't noticed the bag has any problem. And I don't think it is a fake one, should be original.

Back a couple years ago I had an early version of the bag, and one of the zippers broke. Think Geek replaced it for free, and since then I've had no problems.

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.

Yes....I've been using the jacket a lot for over a year and the zippers still are working great.
