- Hip-loading belt is an integral part of the bag, not an optional extra. This belt is for taking the weight of the bag off of your spine and shoulders if/when you need to do so for comfort or because of injury.
- Locking system for hip width. It allows adjustment for narrower or wider hips, and holds the weight of the bags when leaning forward as in bicycling.
- Narrower back panel creates a contour of shoulder straps for greater comfort, sizing, and stability on shoulders.
- Streamlined design with angled zipper outer side-pockets.
- Replaced velcro with magnets or snaps.
- Moved water bottle holder to exterior.
- New colors.
- Headphone/tube port on each side.
- Inside loops to secure hydration bladders. Also, zipper pocket size has been increased to 10 inches x 7.5 inches to accommodate iPads and 45 rpm records for you vinyl collectors. NOTE: with the increased adjustability of this model it can be more easily twisted than the simpler models when initially donning and doffing. With care, this is not a problem.https://www.backtpack.com/product-info/fit-use-instructions/
