How is the sack closed before we flip the lid over and compress it? Rip cord, zipper??? TIA

There are no zippers. It's got a drawstring closure and then the fabric flap that you fasten over the end with the adjustable buckles.

It unzips all the way around. The lid is attached at the base. Similar to a suitcase.

The bag doesn't close. The bottom of the bag just has an adapter for the hose.

I would think just unzipping it would deflate it. Take care not to puncture the bag, as it will not hold air then.

You put one of them out and close the zipper around it, when you need your weapon in an expedient manner, you pull the cord down and it exposes the weapon for use (it expedites the unzipping process by opening the storage pouch by pulling away from yourself)

Its like closing a lid. Just twist it on the case until it is tight enough.

I am still trying to understand the question ... if you can't lock the bag then the closing mechanism is defective. How does that translate to put a padlock lock on the bag?

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

You cannot fold the bag and put it back in. You will need to "stuff" it back in. This is what the manufacturer recommends doing and they have an instructional video on their website ( http://tetonsports.com/Sleeping-Bags/Mammoth/Mammoth-0.htm) showing "How to stuff a Mammoth Bag". Watch how he struggles also. It is really a Pain!

I think I may have hot-glued a strip of vinyl down there...whoops, just remembered, the zipper goes all the way across the bottom of the bag and I had a mishap when the zipper gave way and my gtr fell out of the bottom of the bag. Luckily it didn't suffer any horrific consequences. I ended up hot-glueing the zipper inside and out along the bottom. It'll never happen again! But, despite this pretty serious shortcoming, I do like the basic design and features of the bag more than most gig bags I've had. They just should NOT run the zipper along the bottom, it's useless to do that anyway. Hope this helps...

Look very carefully....it's there. True story...I couldn't find it either and asked someone to put an opening in it for me. She very carefully opened a seam on the bottom and attached Velcro strips to close it. THEN she found the zipper...a very fine zipper that's up a few inches from one of the edges. I felt really dumb! I'm glad you asked... I wasn't smart enough to do that! :-)

It is a mummy bag. It is sewn all are around save the opening at the top. It closes with a draw string. But think of it as a sack.

I had the same problem. I ended up ripping a small part on the seam on the last corner I fought with for an hour to get over the frame. The canvas was rolled and folded very tight and seemed to loosen up as I wrestled to get it together. My zippers were impossible so I let it sit and settle in for a couple hours and they closed fairly easy after that. My best advice to people would to unroll the cover and stretch it around the frame slowly to let the material relax if your having trouble.

This is a ziplock type/ stay fresh bag so don't worry about opening it. After you open it and use it you simply zip it shut again for continued use.

It does not close by zipper. It has an Metal O type opening and you fold and hook the top parts over and through the O hole and then clip. Nothing will fall out.

Nope, the sack is separate. The cord in the pic is just to adjust the tightness of the fit.

Its not zipper closed, it's open from one side just slide the mattress in then fold and use tape seal it, it's a good quality and thick plastic.
