The yellow cinch cord for the water bottle pockets can also be used to go around the top of the bottle to help hold the in when cinched around the bottle neck. Nice review, I own the 7 to 10 liter version.
@@svslowmotion6611 thanks, yes it can, I should have mentioned it. The 7-10 is great isn't it. Definitely good for lightweight winter walks as you can cram a couple of layers in.
There was, IIRC, a company a few years ago that did a fully modular belt system (like military webbing), where if you added a lot of weight bearing stuff you could then attach a yoke (over your shoulders, just like military webbing). I didn’t buy it and don’t recall ever seeing it in use out there in the wild. But always thought it was a worthwhile idea.
@@stewartboughtflower6261 I think there are camera bag makers who do something similar. I'm trying to take as little as possible these days, excluding all my camera gear!
@@TheWalkingKev definitely fully on board with lighter. There’s definitely space for some sort of discussion about the cost/weight/sensible/daft equation and how that can vary with circumstances season/intention/actuality and so on. More an exploration of philosophy than anything else. Hummm. Gimme a couple of weeks.
My question was going to be how comfortable is it on whilst walking. I used to have a bum bag years ago but I don't think it had the comfort or features of the Sierra Designs. My lad has a SD sleeping bag he bought when he was in Canada a few years ago.

Agreed it's a great year round pack for me sinched up for summer and extended for colder temps.

Nice review. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
@@NorwayHikesTrails thanks for stopping by.
thanks, look forward to seeing the larger version, its a bag I have been considering, would like to know the weight when fully loaded as well
@@LezleysAdventures sure, I'll weigh both when they are full of stuff and also show all the bits I carry in them.

@@thevalleywalker very comfortable when on. I really like it and I really like the brand.
Movember?
@@stewartboughtflower6261 no, I just need a shave!
Didn't take as long as I thought - ruclips.net/video/bclvjI4llxE/видео.html Nicely shows the gap between a youtoob pro like Kev and us mortals :)
