A differing opinion ...

I have an older version as well with the zipper and the straps to join the two bags. First, IMO this bag was designed to be split for luggage check to save the ridiculous airline weight fees. I always split my bag and unfortunately one of the airlines managed to rip the zipper off the bag so it no longer zips. Perhaps this is why the zippers are gone now. The straps alone are adequate for holding the bags together until you get to baggage check but I do miss the zipper because even tightly zipped they do slip a little and they were joined rock solid with the zipper. I thought of getting it repaired, but figured the airlines would just rip it off again. The design is awesome and except for the zipper loss the bag has held up well.
