broken response pak

[smoothcriminal]

hey guys,

I recently purchased a snugpak response pak for travelling, and was dissappointed to see that the belt seam came apart on one of its first outings. I know it's not an expensive pack, but I hadn't expected this. Has anyone else experienced this? Now I've got two options, either I cut-off the belt and replace with a roll-pin type belt, or retire it to use as a medical kit bag. Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Thanks

smooth

Could you not return it as faulty?

And welcome to the forum, why not nip into the intro and tell us a little about your self matey.

Most unusual!
Snugpak gear is usually bomb proof ...
Send it back and get a replacement!

Just to echo John's comments, the ResponsePaks can usually take a fair amount of abuse. If a return isn't an option then a repair would be fairly straightforward - they're not a complex pack by any means

Why don’t you just fix it?

I've had one for a couple of years and i'm very pleased with it, looks like you have got a friday afternoon model, like the others have said, send it back. Glyn

friday afternoon model is an epic phrase. noted.

I've had mine for over a year and has been on 2 month-long backpacking trips and still going very strong. There's some paint coming off the zips but nothing else to note. As everyone else
is saying, return it as it should not have ripped.

One bit of stitching has come off at the back, but it hasn't affected the pack, and I'll get my wife to sort it...
