Has anyone's ripped or broke and if so, how long did it last?

I still have mine and its not broken or ripped...seems to have helped with hand placement.

FWIW, I had a similar experience. It did not tear, but was quite difficult to separate from the backing.

I've had this for a while now and haven't had any trouble with it starting to tear or break apart. It's been a little smashed because it's in the back with my kids, but it still maintains its shape as it did when it was new. I'd call that pretty durable; we've had no issues with it.

My two year old has been playing with it for about two months now and so far no rips or tears! He's a pretty rambunctious little guy too, so it has been pretty roughly handled. We keep it in a closet until were ready to play with it so it definitely doesn't get used every day. Hope this helps.

It rips very easy. The fabric around the top zipper ripped in less than a month (almost across the whole top) for my wife. She was using it to pack her lunch for work and it was not beaten or abused whatsoever. I would recommend an Ebag for something that will last.

It's happened to me, probably around 45 minutes or so. I shredded for a few hours that day though.

Got mine August 2012 and it's ... failing. I completely turn it every month, it's under a mattress pad, I weigh about 120, but it's developed "cracks" and where my hips are (yes, I know laying down your hips are the heaviest area), it's really kind of "crushed". I loved this SO much - fibro, herniated L4-5 with recurring sciatica, arthritis but now I have to think about trying to scrape up money to get a new topper and I'm not sure I want to get another of this one. Mine hasn't lasted a year and it's just me and occasionally my cat.

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.

I can't say it won't ever break, but mine have lasted quite well. Also replacement bags are fairly reasonable -- unlike another I've owned.

I bought mine probably a couple months ago and it broke today. I filled up the entire thing with clothes and the extension parts and it started to lean and it cracked the top part and fell over. It seemed sturdy, but I definitely would not buy it again.

I have not had any problems with tears. Iv had mine for more then a year and use it every day. Still looks great and no signs of material weakness.I'm pretty sure the company 's stands by there product. If you let them know what's going on they will probably replace it with a new one.

Material is not that good. Mine it is ripping and falling apart. I've repaired and repaired. Not good. I've had it since the end of dec. Binging of jan. And was late getting here on top of that.

It won't rip. I've got 14 and a 16 pound tom cats with razor sharp claws (I need to clip them more often!) No problem for years! After about 3 years in the sun and rain the color starts to fade and then you can rip it with your hands and it needs replacing. But until then it just won't rip unless you use good scissors.

No guarantee. Brought 2 and both of them had rip in less than a year. Wish there was something that we could do about the company.

It depends on how long you expect it to last. Mine lasted for about a month until there were so many tears at the seems that I threw it away.

I haven't had to. It seems like you can just rinse it out and it will be fine. I usually sit it under water and it's fine. As long as it's not ripped. Not sure how to replace it though.

After a few years of having mine outside it began to tear. Being from Michigan and having all sorts of weather, I expected this to happen, but I was impressed it lasted this long!
