does the zipper really break?

Yeah it isnt especially strong, and you have to be careful with it, but the backpack is extremely comfortable. All my friends at school love it. So if you can deal with a little bit weaker of a zipper, then its worth it.

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.

Hello Tiffany. The Slim Back Pack's zipper should not break unless it is forcibly handled (twisted). If the zipper breaks and if the item is still within warranty, we will replace it provided you have a copy of the sales receipt.

I haven't had any zipper issues. My daughter is 5yrs old and she can open/ close it without any issues. Zipper looks strong and it zips smoothly.

I've been using it for the last couple of months without any problem. However, I'm a light user and gentle with zippers...

Yes! We use it that way a lot for sleepovers. It takes a bit of fiddling to get the zipper started back once you've done that, but it does go back on track with no problems.

Hi Tallyginger. Nope didn't get that far. I bought as a gift for my partner. She opened the box. Loved it a first. Opened the zipper and the zipper failed. Zipper opened in front and behind where it was supposed to be closed. So we didn't look any further. I re boxed and sent it back.

No. In fact the zippers pulled off the edges of 2 of the pouches after about 3 weeks. :(. Fail.

Yes. And unfortunately we are returning it. My daughter used it once and the zipper broke. :( Super cute bag...just not durable.

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.

Yes it does have a zipper. It's down sort of inside the bag a bit. I don't use the zipper often, but it does have one

Bought this at the beginning of October, 2013. I use it every day and haven't had a single problem. Zippers are holding up just fine on mine.

I haven't had any problems with the zipper. They seem like pretty well put together vests. For as much as they have used them, it wasn't a bad deal.

Yes it does however my dog managed to pull it off and break the zipper. He is a puppy so he chews everything.

I haven't been too rough with mine, but the thing is pretty tough. However, the plastic zippers on the side pockets almost immediately tear off. The main pocket has metal zippers, and those are tough as nails. I've had mine for a bit over a year now, and besides the zippers on the sides coming off within about 2 weeks of purchasing it, it's still as if it's brand new. As long as you don't mind using the side zippers from the metal base that lays on the tracks, this thing probably won't fall apart on you. As far as space goes, I've fit 4 pairs of shorts, 4 shirts, a towel, a blender bottle, a pair of shoes and some miscellaneous hygiene products with a little room to spare.

Unfortunately it does. I was one of the several reviewers of this product that gave it one star because the zipper on mine broke on the first use. I would not buy it unless you don't need a working zipper.

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.

I think the zippers will be fine if they are not abused by exceeding the load capacity of the bag if you take care of it this bag should last quite a while the zippers on this bag aren't the biggest I have seen when you open them pull the zipper tab not the pulls it puts less stress on the zippers.
