The last snap fasterrners on the front bottom are both female.I cannot snap the bottom shut and the wind blows it open. Is this a defect or design?

Mine is the same as yours. There are male snaps along the bottom like Roaming Gnome says. I'm guessing for a tighter fit.

Hey CPA, from the bottom front female snap fasteners, look along the bottom inner seam for a corresponding male snap fastener. Wrap the female fastener around each of your legs BACKWARDS and snap onto the corresponding male fastener. Strange design but it seems to work OK. I hope my explanation is clear...

There are male snaps on the opposite side. If you snap them together your legs will be covered.

I just checked ours to be sure, and the last snaps are both female. We've used them a good bit and hadn't noticed. Perhaps they are just for a little weight, to reduce flapping around in the wind. Anyway the ponchos have served us well. Good value for the buck.

Unfortunately its the design.. I use mine as a poncho and shelter for survival trips , I bought a eyelid punch kit and put eyelids all around the bottom to tie up and use as a shelter.

I looked at my poncho and you are correct. Both my bottom buttons are female and will not snap. I don't know if this is a defect or not.

It's supposed to snap together, but we had difficulties! Make sure the little slots end up on the right sides or the wrap around cover does not work. You are not missing anything, just some elbow grease. (My husband ended up using screws and put it together all wrong.)

the only issue to me, is the snap. Its kind of a distraction when unit is opened. You can fold it under though.

I just bought a water pik set from Amazon and I am having the exact same problem! The tip lengths at the bottom are longer in the new water pik and the snap in just doesn't happen! You could feel the snap in my old water pik! Hope that makes you feel a little better! I don't yet know what the solution is!

Mine has a small hole near the top, but not on the top. I believe that it should be open.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

No that's not normal. Mine snaps shut with a loud snap and stays closed. Its pretty tight. I really have to push it down hard to snap shut. It gets tight again after I wash it in dishwasher. Air dry so it doesn't melt.

There are two zipper carriages a top one and a bottom one. The top one is the one you use to zip up, the bottom one allows you to vent the vest from bottom up. Possibly you've got the zipper carriages locked together, if so wiggle them apart, move the bottom one down then the top one. If this is not the problem I'd say you've got a defective zipper.

Mine works great! It snaps n pops, n takes em all down. You may have a defective one.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

You are correct, I have the same problem. It would seem that the lids don't exactly fit the bottom, as it's difficult to line them up to snap it down.

Hi Jane - I've never experienced that problem with my wife's Breeze. It has functioned perfectly. All I can think of is to try to compress the legs a bit tighter while you pull on the red pull handle to release the lock. If the pull handle isn't moving then there must be an internal problem with the handle and lock. In this case you may have to consult the manufacturer for assistance. Good luck!

Maybey ur missing a screw in the bottom which helps keep it balanced it sounds like a screw broke i had it happen which made it wobble ,check the bottom

There should be a small hole on the bottom (middle of the bottom)...we inserted an unfolded paperclip and wiggled until it opened. We had trouble with this too and also wondered why there were no tools/instructions included...Sorry I can't be more helpful!!

They are not faulty, remember this is plastic , if you have it over loaded and apply weight, like leaning on it while try to close or open this can cause it to seem to not operate correctly, Hint just don't overload and try not leaning on while opening or closing bottom and Handle. I have had mine for two years now and use it everyday.

Assuming it is on correctly (top is thin to not interfer with open and close lever action), some sort of misshape does seem to be involved. Send for a new one. Mine closes completely.

I have the same problem, but have not yet reached out to the manufacturer. Not sure if it is a defect or a poor design.
