The other nice thing about Zeagles, is with the component design, even if it's not under warranty (rat attact, nuclear explosion, etc), at least if can be replaced. I've had many a customer come in our store with a hole in a bladder, a mangled shoulder strap, worn out velcro, etc. If it is most brands... you have to tell them, ooops. Sorry, unless they want to find some upholstry shop to try to re-sew some stuff and McGyver it together. With a Zeagle, I can just sell them which ever piece went bad.
