Updated review, new zippers * Zippers are junk

I'm leaving my original review below but wanted to update the above. I bought them and sent them back because the zips are junk, wow, a few months later I got an email from Readywares that they had replaced the zips with new ones and offered to send me a kit of new zips. I received them and lo and behold, they are actually good zippers. The note attached said they were YKK zippers. I am not sure if this is true as there is no indication of the manufacturer on the zipper. However, they are as good as Flash I could hope for. They also said that old stock has been removed from Amazon warehouses and everything new must have a new zip. I can't test this, but I'm writing this on 9/4/2019, so if anyone has flash issues afterwards, maybe let me know. The pics are of the original zips, I have uploaded a short video of the new zips. These zippers are so bad that the bag is completely unusable. It's a shame because I really liked the size, the material feels like fairly heavy duty duck cloth or waxed canvas. I thought zippers might be tough, but I quickly discovered that the prongs just weren't aligned properly, let alone properly secured. I took a closer look and even the bag I never touched had misaligned teeth from the factory. I was disappointed as I had high hopes, brass zippers and the fabric was a decent weight. I really liked the size. But someone chose Lightning to match both price and margin. The result is an unusable product.
