My old one is still going, but it’s so old they won’t fix it any longer. No one around me has the gear to replace the main zipper, which is a big deal apparently. It still zips, but its to the point it could have a blow out at any time.
I've basically blown out the back pocket and 1/2 pocket zippers, and the zipper metal material has pulled away from the fabric for about 2 inches of the main compartment. I'm debating between the Executive 22", the Aurora 22" and the good ol standby Stealth 22" (regular). I know it's heavy, but my last one lasted over 15 years without being destroyed. Heavy, but bullit-proof, other than having to tighten the corner screws once every other month. Suggestions?
