Should there be tiny holes in a grid pattern up and down both sides of the bag or is my bag defective? I always thought it should be air tight.

Your bag is most likely defective. It is impossible to know for how long exactly those holes have been there, in which case many different bacteria could have entered it. I would not feed that to my dog.

The side bags when unzipped, hang on the outside of the rack's three support rods (3 on each side). The only thing that I have ever worried about getting got in the spokes are the small elastic cords at the bottom of each bag so I always make sure that they are wrapped around the end of the support rods which they should be anyway. They are there to make sure the bags do not flop around. Hope this helps. BTW I gave this bag 5 stars as I think it's great.

Hi, These bags have a shaped top so they are not an ideal bag to zip together you really need to buy a rectangled shaped bag with both top and bottom the same....

That happens because air comes in contact with it. The trays aren't airtight. Ziploc freezer bags are. :-) suck the air out of the bag, too, if you want.

Yes, never had bag leak either. Dispose of the bag(s), but keep the boxes and contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they will reimburse you or send more or something. The top part of the item is supposed to attract moisture, then the water collects in the bottom part. Nothing is supposed to come out of the bag.

There is a YouTube video, search for that. When holding it by the rim cross your hands in front of you and sort of slide the the down the edge pushing the outer band towards each other. At the end it looks like 3 small circles instead of the one big one. Use the bag as a guide. Good luck

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

Compress as much air as possible out of the zipper bag before putting in space bag. Shouldn't be a problem to double bag.

Sorry, but the bag is at the golf club. I'll have to bring it home and test it. Maybe someone else can help in the mean time.

The bag has gaps on top where the rings are but could be easily taped over - note: do not put items on the bottom of the bag because it then pulls the bag down and puts pressure on the top rings.

There are large holes at the top of the sides and then mesh that is covered by a flap that can be raised and held by a magnetic "snap." (There's more ventilation than my previous Kwiggy Bo bag.) There is no ventilation on the top but it can be partially unzipped. The sides are soft but still sturdy enough for the bag to keep its shape.

I'm not really sure what problems you could actually be having. As long the bag is upright, and you give a decent tug at the handle, then it should come up with with relative ease. There is some resistance, but that is to make sure that the handle doesn't just fall back down. If the handle mechanism truly appears to be jammed, then you should return the product and ask for a replacement. I say ask for a replacement, because this really is a great bag in my opinion.

If your using a tall 12" bag (for example) seal the top closed without anything in it. Now you have a sealed bag on both ends. Cut the bag MidWay in half. You now have 2 smaller 6" bags to work with. Fill bag, seal it and ready to go is the other half...Hope it helps!

To add to my previous response: The top has an overhang and the bag stuffs up under the overhang. Great!

I think I may have hot-glued a strip of vinyl down there...whoops, just remembered, the zipper goes all the way across the bottom of the bag and I had a mishap when the zipper gave way and my gtr fell out of the bottom of the bag. Luckily it didn't suffer any horrific consequences. I ended up hot-glueing the zipper inside and out along the bottom. It'll never happen again! But, despite this pretty serious shortcoming, I do like the basic design and features of the bag more than most gig bags I've had. They just should NOT run the zipper along the bottom, it's useless to do that anyway. Hope this helps...

You are not doing anything wrong. I can never get the bags to zip properly either. I just squeeze as much air out as possible, zip the bag as best I can, then fold the top over and wrap a large gum band (top to bottom) to keep it from spilling.

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.
