Will a Rigid Item Fit Through the Zip?

Measure the actual opening as well as the bag compartment. A rigid item must pass through the opening without forcing the zip, even when the compartment itself looks large enough.

The entrance is different

Measure opening length and width without stretching, including the points where the zip stops. The outside dimensions of the bag do not describe this narrower passage.

A rigid item cannot compress

Measure the item with its usual case. If it needs to enter at an angle, consider the entire movement; passing the first corner does not prove the rest can enter or come out.

Fabric stretch has limits

The fabric may stretch while the zip tape stays fixed. Do not pull the teeth apart or force the item through, and do not assume flexible fabric makes every dimension negotiable.

Ask for the opening size

Send the item dimensions and ask for the internal opening measurement, rather than only bag capacity. If it is unavailable, record that fit remains unconfirmed instead of relying on litres.
