How does the top close? Zipper? Velcro? And what is the overall weight? I'm almost convinced this is for me.

Hello, the windscreen and the window screen are fastened by velcro. The overall weight is about 40lbs.

I finally got to check it. Not really. You can *almost* get the zipper closed, but the two top corners of the laptop would be very exposed to (uncushioned from) bumps and shocks from the outside world.

It close with a magnet . The elastic strap is also close with extra security. It works both ways. I like to place the heavy side on top just to have a better closure. Either way will work just fine. Thats just me. Ihope this willhelp.

The one I just bought has a zipper. I have the Velcro one as well and they are both removable and washable. I prefer the zipper one because the velcro gets worn out and starts to stick less.

It has an elastic band around the top. It's not meant to close, but to go in a Paul like a trash bag.

No problem. It is a great piece. We don't use a safety strap. We feel the chances of zipper are so small it isn't warranted.

The zipper is hidden, on the back about a quarter of the way down from the top you'll find a small flap. It took me awhile too. But you'll find it!

Velcro. And to my surprise, they do very well staying closed. Used to think only the zipper bags were good, but I have no problem with the velcro closure on the bag. I've used several now.

Zipper closes the entire bag, largest compartment, if you want it closed...otherwise just flap over the top...it stays shut without havng to snap it. But conveniently it does zipper and nothing will ever fall out if dropped of for any other reason the bag would be on its side or upside down!

The zipper doesn't go down the sides completely but about half-way. That allows the top to open quite wide, like a medical bag. It would probably allow you to drop in a six-pack or something of similar size without a problem.

The zipper goes up to the chin, so it stays on...but I don't know if I'd say "securely." If there is a lot of wind, i kind of blows up...but not off (if fully zipped up).

It closes with a zipper. There are two openings - in the back, and in the front where the mesh meets the blue at the top. It doesn't have any tie downs unless you mean a leash attachment. It does have a lead inside to clip to a collar or harness. Is that what you needed? I've had mine for three years now and still love it!

The zipper is zipped into a pocket that is made of elastic material when it's zipped closed. I haven't had any issues with the zipper snagging on anything.

Look very carefully....it's there. True story...I couldn't find it either and asked someone to put an opening in it for me. She very carefully opened a seam on the bottom and attached Velcro strips to close it. THEN she found the zipper...a very fine zipper that's up a few inches from one of the edges. I felt really dumb! I'm glad you asked... I wasn't smart enough to do that! :-)

Hi there... Yes, the top zips shut. Ive had this tote for about a year now. Its very versatile, as well as roomy. Also has a laptop pocket inside, which fits up to a 15in. Great construction. I use it for weekend travel, as well as to tote school books!

Each strap measures 24" long. I just tried carrying it on my shoulder and found that it is fine if the top of the bag is snugly closed. If the bag is full and open to its fullest extent on the top, carrying it over the shoulder would probably not be comfortable. The bag is not fabric - it is made of some kind of plastic - or "plastic polyester." I really like the design - and I got it for a probable one-time use for a convention I am going to. It has a heavy zipper in the top. I really like it for what I plan to use it for. I just read the other three comments - and found that one person's bag is still going strong over 6 months of use . . . that's great to know! Maybe I'll go to another convention! : ) Each strap measures 24" long. I just tried carrying it on my shoulder and found that it is fine if the top of the bag is snugly closed.

The zipper was something I worried about as well. You won't need to worry with this one. The fabric netting is fairly loose and does not really have a strong stress point with the hammock itself. It also does not snag, it is very easy to open and close. My 14-year-old son has taken it on five or six backpacking trips already this summer and has not had one complaint, he has enjoyed it every time.
