I recall that it was made by Kelty and that was probably the reason it
caught my eye initially. For some reason I am a huge Kelty fan, goes way
back. It just seemed too darned complicated and the last thing I need is
one more series of straps to adjust each time I take my pack on and off.
I guess I will think again on future treks if people start swearing by
these, but until then?
I wonder if they are more for internal frame packs?? That might make more
sense. I guess I should check the links provided and see for sure rather
than continue to speculate.
