They are metal. My dog shreaded screen and ate the zippers out within one week. Not recommended for a large strong dog or a puppy. Hope this helps.

The zipper closure is plastic, the zipper pull is metal, the create works very good, we use it for our Great Dane at dog shows and have had no trouble or problems. All in all, I think its a quality product, too bad they don't make a bigger one.

They are padded with the right amount of padding, I reinforced the zipper ends because on my grandsons old backpacks that's where he had issues. He loves his backpack and I do too, no problems.

you are correct there is a zipper, however I don't know if they are washable. The material has a brushed nap to it, so I use a small wisk broom and spot clean (rarely needed) with distilled water. I would be a little hesitant to machine wash, maybe dry clean? 5 months of ownership and still loving it!

They're metal. I would have guessed aluminum, but they're ferrous so probably some alloy.

They're metal. Wind blows them over if it's strong. The finish hasn't changed despite rain, heat, hail, cold. I'd give them a 3.5/5

I'm not an expert, but the material is very sturdy, it has serial numbers printed (and faded as if it has had a long use), it has no plastic pieces, but metal ones. I'd say they're genuine GI bags. If not, they're incredible well made knock off that are worth every penny... I hope this helps you.

They are metal, but are detachable if you want to switch them out for plastic. I was impressed with the quality of this unit. I am using it to store cleaning products. The bottles fit well & the organizer is holding up well under heavy use.

They seem to be a kind of mix of nylon and cotton. They are durable, whatever the material is. My children have used and re-used their bags since we bought them for a birthday party in October.

Yes they have zippers. You are able to remove them in case you need to wash them and give them maintenance.

Yes they have zippers . I wish fabric was softer for comfort though. I might get new covers made someday.

Yes they are metal. They are holding up very well. There is no rust on them at all. The unit is a powerhouse, I really love mine.

Oh no they aren't metal. (I like that for safety reasons.). They are plastic but look great.

The zipper "teeth" appear to be made of nylon. The teeth are small. They work very smoothly and are suitable for this backpack. As in many backpacks, there is a fold covering the zipper to protect it from rain.

It's metal, I think. It is as strurdy as any zipper, if that is your concern. It's really smooth to zip and unzip.
