Would the zipper be uncomfortable on a surfboard?

I don't think so, the zipper does not touch your skin, there is a nice amount of material/flap behind the zipper.

Hi. I wouldn't know. I returned this jacket the same day I got it. It was to stiff for me and the zipper was damaged.

Mine wouldn't. It's also not protective at all. I got a separate reg bag that is protected. Just an FYI, I was carrying around all my gear: BC, fins, wetsuit, reg, save a dive kit, reel, recovery bag, etc., on an almost daily basis and the bag ripped along one of the seams after about a week and a half. Probably not really made for that kind of (ab)use.

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.

I would say no. You get a 3.5" width (top to bottom of pocket) and the zipper will stretch a little over this.

Perhaps I am fortunate, but have had no issue with the zipper. My objection is to the smell of the contents once heated. Again, it might just be me. It has done the job otherwisel

It's a zipper, but it may be a plastic zipper. I'd have to check next time I'm on the boat.

Yes. The zippers each have flaps that overlap the teeth so rain can't get it that way either.

Of course the device it will come in contact with the zipper unless you carefully spread to open the sleeve. It's has a plastic teeth with a metal slider. It won't damage your device on normal use.There is a buffer on the inside between the device and the zipper so it won't rub against each other.

No, the zipper doesn't get in the way. The portfolio is a little bulky for writing directly in if you do not have a lot of table space, such as at a lunch meeting.

I don't think so because the 5mm zip up wetsuit boots that I have, have a semi rigid sole which would decrease the foot room in the boots. I don't own Danner boots so I can't really address that but I would think the zipper would be uncomfortable inside a work boot. For inside a workboot try looking at a wetsuit sock without a rigid sole.

Yes! The rubber on top has a nice grip to it. A surfboard or SUP is wide and flat enough to sit nicely.

No! They zip pretty tight ! Some brands have a plastic encasement over the zipper!

I wouldn't really think so. Unless you are a hardcore backwoods adventurer. Those types may have a preference but I would imagine it would only be in respect to super cold conditions but this sleeping bag is more of a summer bag. For the average joe wanting to do a little camping and wanting to purchase good gear, I don't think the zipper side matters a whole lot.

Probably. If you are being towed or using any kind of rope I'd recommend. If you are sail surfing, not sure. Have fun!

Mine is not uncomfortable and I am on my laptop for long periods of time. I never take mine off, except to shower or swim.

I have not had any issues with the zipper on my bag. I haven't had the opportunity to use mine as much lately so, I don't have a lot of wear. Right now, everything is solid.
