what are the snaps on either side of the zipper for?

the buttons are for the bivvy cover that can be purchased. This is one part of a modular system.

I think they are for snapping the bag to the two other layers in the 3 bag system this bag is part of. Could be wrong, but that's my best guess.

The snaps along the zipper line are for snapping the black bag inside the green patrol bag and then inside the waterproof cover. Or, you can skip the patrol bag and snap the black bag directly into the cover. All three pieces zip open/close independently.

The snaps snap black back to green bag and then green bag to bivy if I recall.

This is part of the MSS, and the snaps allow it to be snapped into the goretex bivvy sack, which i strongly encourage you buy....

The zipper goes on the side and could go to the end if it were the left side.

There are two flaps, one screen and one solid. I zip the screen in one direction, and the solid flap the other direction in order to prevent my son from unzipping them. When they were both zipped the same direction, he burst out in less than a minute.

I believe it has to do with what side the zipper is on. RH for right hand, LH for left hand.

The zipper is along the side, it's quite easy to get the clothes out of it as it zips better than 3/4 of the way down.

I have replaced all of the snap closures for the pockets because they pop open. If security is your concern then you may want to look elsewhere

I've only used it once so far so I'm not positive but I believe there is a zipper on the bottom and only one side opens.

It fully closes on both sides, but I fined that a top zipper is better. Difficult getting my puppy into the bag.

Not all the windows zip close. Some just have an elastic strap that goes over a clip. Frankly, I prefer that than a zipper. Less noise when opening up.

The picture correctly shows which side the zipper is on. The description of right or left zip in correlation with the picture will tell you that it is as you are lying in the bag which determines the right or left zip side. Of note, you can look down at the bag from the top, bottom, or sides, making using that as the determining factor unwise, to say the least.

I have the one with the zipper and the clasps. Zipper up the side is not bad. Clasps at the crotch are very uncomfortable.

They are plastic strips to keep the zipper tied once you close the bag and to secure it won't get open. I used them to be on the safe side.

It has snaps. The flaps have two snaps each, one over the other to allow for longer and shorter magazines.

There are no snaps -- these are just traditional prefolds that you can use pins or snappies with, or I just stuff them inside flip covers.

The top, front and one side zip. The other side is solidly stitched in place

The main zipper is in top middle of each bag. The other zipper is above the clear thin sidepocket, which is suitable for small items like papers, map, and pen. Hope this helps. Ride safe.

both, there is a zipper between the two halves. Better as a single strap but it could be unzipped if you wanted
