Peak Design Zippers Are Garbage

“Zipper durability has indeed been a challenge across certain product generations. And while we’ve made improvements over the years, upgrading materials, tweaking stress points and refining construction, we clearly still have work to do.” – Peak Design

“Every single one of my Peak Design bags that I’ve used daily has experienced the same failure. After about 3 years of use, the zippers fail.”

“Most Peak Design bags still use the weatherproof Ultra Zips with abrasion-resistant UHMPE thread, the exact zipper model that has already failed me four times… Meanwhile, Peak Design still sells many models with the older zipper design, knowing these issues exist… If you’re thinking about buying your first Peak Design product, think carefully. Consider whether more established brands like LowerPro or TENBA might be a more reliable choice.”
