    Badlands zippers still garbage?

    I was just touching up the zippers on my old 2200 and got to wondering if they ever figured them out. I have several of their packs, all very comfortable and functional. But all have zippers that fail in no time. My packs are all 5 years old or older, several have been back for repairs that...
