I’ve had this Dakine backpack for ~17 years and have taken it on all my trips. The zippers on this thing still work like they are new. All my other backpacks have had their zippers break off so this is my old trusty pack.AlpineTwist t1_j5raj2k wrote
I had a black and red Dakine backpack from 2015 to about 2018 before I had issues. The issues were tearing right where the straps join to the bag at the top (where your neck goes when you wear it) and the straps were actually breaking down, leaving small red fibers everywhere. I don't think I'll ever own one again.

Yeah, Billabong bought them out around 2013, and now some other parent company owns Dakine. Unfortunately the product and warranty have suffered from the sell offs.

Did you try to warranty it out? They probably would've replaced it for free
