Great bag, however after 2.5 - 3 years time to get a new one

Great bag, however after 2.5 - 3 years time to get a new one
I would rate this backpack as 3.5 stars. I travel a lot, even during our recent c19 slowdown. The backpack has capacity to hold 2 laptops, tons of gear, rides good on the back. Love it to pieces for its intended design and capacity. However, it has just decided to give up. Zippers are shot. Not just one, but most where they just unzip on their own as I walk. I try to fix by unzipping as far as i can....no change...they are just worn out. Almost lost a laptop once and caught it as it was falling to the ground. Carrying handle is shot. So, maybe just an overall quality issue that after 2+ years of moderate to heavy use...need to get a new one. I have had other targus products in the past and they all got to 4 to 5 years. This one, 2 to 3. Maybe a one off.... Should I try another? Let me know in your comments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Huge backpack with many pockets
Reviewed in Japan on April 30, 2021
I really like this backpack because of the design, its size and the number of pockets. I bought mine 5 years ago. Unfortunately now 2 large holes have developed near the sipper of the large pocket, one on each side. For this reason I bought a new Drifter backpack. The holes developed because I ofter used the backpack for grocery shopping filling it to the top with heavy stuff e.g. cans etc. and then carried it by the handle. That was too much stress on the fabric. So, my recommendation for upgrades of this backpack would be to strengthen the support for the handle. The handle itself is extra strong, but the backpack fabric supporting the handle is weak. I subtract one star because of this weakness. For buyers of this backpack I recommend not to use the handle if the backpack is heavy.
