The SoftEdge shoulder straps have 2 layers of foam to give you maximum comfort and adjust ("glide") to give you a range of fit from 16" to 23" depending on capacity. The modular waist belts have 3 layers of foam (a stiff outer layer, a firm middle layer, and a soft inner layer) for maximum load carrying capabilities combined with the ultimate in comfort. The Air Mesh on the inside of the belt stretches with the foam so there are no wrinkles to rub against your body.
The pack bag is as feature rich as the suspension. A lower access door has a #10 zipper for maximum durability. An internal divider gives you the option to divide your pack for the best storage utilization. The two front zippered pockets give you additional storage options. The top pocket extends to control the top of your pack and the "over the top" compression strap from the Kangaroo pocket keeps things in place. The multiple side compression straps help to stabilize the entire pack.
Two awesome features are the Integrated Rain Cover and the Top Pocket that Converts to a Fanny Pack. You no longer need to remember to bring your rain cover, because it's now part of your pack, conveniently stored in a pocket at the bottom of your pack. You also don't need to pack an extra fanny pack for your short day hikes because the top pocket removes and converts into a fanny pack.
