Great design..poorly built

I loved the Chalk Pod when I first got it. It was the envy of all my friends at the climbing gym. With the zipper top and internal draw string my hands were nice and dry but i didn't feel like I was inhaling as many lung damaging particulates as a window washer in down town LA. It folds down nice and small for storage and transport in my gym bag and doesn't leek chalk all over my other gear. I loved it so much I started buying them for my bouldering buddies for their birthdays. I was a hero...until they started falling apart. The zipper broke on one, the stitching on mine came undone after only a few months... Of the four that we had in our climbing group, only one is still intact and it hasn't even been a year yet. I am still giving it 3 stars because most on these torn seams and broken zipper doesn't make them useless and they are well designed.
