Zipper issues/difficulty getting water supply

Bought for my boyfriend and he loves it. Perfect for the price and has so much room for such a compact bag. Plenty of compartments to organize your stuff and of course holds more water than your usual 2L of water. I will say there are only two things I did NOT like: The zipper material fell apart. If you look at the previous reviews you will see what I mean. Somehow I can't attach a photo. If the tip of the zipper is loosened, the material can easily become tangled. But yes, it is exactly what is shown in the photos with the zipper. I knew about it before I bought it, I just hoped it wouldn't happen to me. But it happened. Not too big of a deal, but it happens. Also, for some reason the water spout doesn't get a good water flow (compared to my other water backs), sucking up the water is quite difficult. You'll have to work hard to get that water flowing in just a few sips. Kinda annoying. All in all a great price, I recommend it.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
