    My Wingnut Enduro zips are failing yet again.

    Absolutely love the low waist fit, comfort and most importantly the huge hip pockets that I can fit my camera, gloves etc etc etc in and can access in seconds. But the quality of the Zips are shocking so looking for something else, plus they are getting hard to buy again anyway.

    Thin the Enduro is 18litres so looking for something a similar size but must have the huge hip/waist pockets.

    Get Scottish Mountain Gear to replace the zips.

    Other repairers are available.

    Not quite as big as that but there’s a Source 20L pack that has some of the biggest waist pockets I’ve seen. Large enough that I can get a compact camera in one side.

    Edit: it’s the Whistler http://sourceoutdoor.com/en/hydration-packs/135-whistler-hydration-pack-biking

    Can’t comment on longevity as I’ve not long had it

    Arc’teryx Chilcotin 20 maybe if you can find one – seems to have disappeared from their website in the last week or so:

    Good choices there.

    It would probably cost me a fortune to have all 3 zips replaced as there all as bad as each other. Shame they don’t use a bigger zip size they would be the perfect bag

    Source whistler looks great but the wingnuts zip pockets are near enough waterproof so mesh is out

    We have Salomon trail 10+5’s and they are great. I am surprised hour robust they are for a lightweight pack.

    Can you not get a new wingnut?

    I could get a new Wingnut but the Zips failing are a known issue on the bags

    Oh bummer. I have two wingnuts, love them. Not had zip failure yet, but I shall keep a close eye on them now.
