**Update** My views on the sturdiness of the bag haven't changed, but the company reached out and offered the option of a replacement or full refund. Great customer service! I've had this for less than a month. I've never used this back pocket but I picked up the bag today and this zipper slider just fell off.

Not a fan of the loose leash/belt hangs off and comes free of buckles meant to hold it down.

I love the style and look of this and the size is great with lots of compartments. But the main zipper is no good. The first one I bought, the zipper already was broken when it was first delivered. I returned it and got a replacement with a zipper that worked. But that only lasted about 6 months. That zipper no longer works either. It would have been a great pack if it had a plastic zipper. but unfortunately, I cannot recommend it until this feature is fixed.

Really loved the appearance and size of the belt bag. Also, the black material is very nice and the gold zippers make it look classy. HOWEVER, the zippers are all difficult to move or open/close. I even tried a wax type product made specifically for improving zipper performance but it didn't help much, and after a week it was back to sticking again. Really hated this didn't help (purchased just to help this zipper because I liked this belt bag!)! Additionally, I am right handed and due to a disability early in life, I have been using belt bags for 25 years... and I have a lot of them. BUT I have never had one with the belt clip on the opposite end of the bag, ideally for a left handed person. It makes it difficult for a right handed person to clip and unclip the belt because it is located behind the left arm/hand. In other words, the belt clip is located on the wrong side of the bag! Just keep this in mind before purchasing. (HINT: Pay attention to the pics and if the belt clip is on the right side of the bag, it is meant to be clipped on your left side, or just behind your left hip, requiring a left handed operation. Hope this helps.) Thanks.
