Anyone know how to get the zippers not make a bunch of noise when you walk? These packs used to have smaller round aluminum zipper pulls

I used anti slip tape I got at sports authority, used for baseball bats, tennis racquets, paddleball paddles, works great and silences the issue

On the Front of the Pack, there is a Band that goes across the vented Zippered areas. On the Right Side of the Band there is a Velcro Tab, Under that is an Opening. Slide the Wire into that opening to Firm up the Pack to keep it from Collapsing in on the Sides. I Hope this Helps!Dexter

I have not had any issues with the zipper on my bag. I haven't had the opportunity to use mine as much lately so, I don't have a lot of wear. Right now, everything is solid.

I haven't had any problems with the zipper. They seem like pretty well put together vests. For as much as they have used them, it wasn't a bad deal.

Zippers on the one I had. My dog easily got out of it. The zippers pulled apart really easy.

I don't find them to be noisy, I put my workout pants on over them which may help.

I notice very little noise, if any when walking around. Microphonics is an issue though, under abnormal circumstances. Running or fumbling around for something in your pockets for instance. Personally, I've never been annoyed by or have noticed this particular issue under normal circumstances.

Mine has done that as well... Just took it apart and made sure nothing was caught in the gear ... Reassembled and no more noise.... Good luck

After some time (I bought them about 8 months ago and have used them lightly) mine did start to squeak a bit. It's not loud enough to annoy me though.

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.

Shawn, My zippers blew out in the first week. There are other brands I would look at. I picked up another brand that can withstand the use that the Teton couldn't. Don't let the seeming reasonable price suck you in. I just ate the tent. The customer service folks wanted me to do the mail it back baloney but the time and effort would negate the "seeming" good price. Hope this helps.....:)

We have an E-Bike Store and sell tons of these. I have not had any zipper issues in the, over 2 years we have been selling them.

I found the crates to be very quiet at first, but over time as the doors loosen a little the do start to rattle some. I used some old bike intertubes and attached them to the doors and along the top between the two crates and that helped a lot. But I think this is true of any metal crate, they all make some noise.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

Sharon - I agree with the responses already given. The only time I get feedback or a squealing noise is when I bend over too far. This usually happens when I'm adjusting my boombox or demonstrating a deck move. (I teach water aerobics). I wish there were a way to incorporate the voicebooster into a fanny pack. It bounces up & down frequently. Any ideas? bjsallows@sbcglobal.net

The pack feels like fleece/felt combo. It's fairly quiet. Walking through the bush creates a lot more noise than the pack does rubbing on a jacket.

I have not had any trouble with the zippers. I did find however that I had to zip & unzip them several times before using. After that they worked just fine.
