It's held up well so far but it's definitely not perfect. The lack of sternum straps bothered me as well. I've been eyeing some Topo bags as well. Nice pickup with their Klettersack.Chris Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019670451981531640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147997712972452852.post-83203044807521376472011-07-21T16:50:43.468-06:002011-07-21T16:50:43.468-06:00Also should note that I ordered this bag for prima...Also should note that I ordered this bag for primary bag use, relegating the MEC klettersack to backup/secondary bag status.<br /><br />Topo Designs Klettersack: http://topodesigns.com/collection/klettersack/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147997712972452852.post-66410476720152611802011-07-21T16:48:31.794-06:002011-07-21T16:48:31.794-06:00Crap.

Posted a long review of the bag, but it screwed up when I tried to authenticate!<br /><br />Anyhow, the highlight reel:<br /><br />• Good back, decent construction<br />• Cheap<br />• No spindrift collar (basic cinch an lose small items when bag inverted)<br />• Removable waist belt is great<br />• Good cheap platform for DIY mods or hacks (I'm going to add a pack-cloth liner/collar to the main compartment).<br />• No sternum strap (boo)<br />• Attachment points are not leather - they're synthetic, and feel kinda cheesy, but they're alright for light-duty hauling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147997712972452852.post-72982297806182316412011-05-24T21:37:35.070-06:002011-05-24T21:37:35.070-06:00haha the same thought went through my head when I ...haha the same thought went through my head when I saw these at the store.
