The reviewer says the low side compression straps are ineffective for compression or securing items to the sides. Quick-release shoulder straps help the reviewer exit the pack or swing it around to the front quickly. The front panel combines an elastic shock cord, laser-cut PALS columns, and a loop field for patches.
Inside, the pack offers attachment points, extensive loop material, zippered and open-top mesh pockets, plus a hose-and-cord port. The reviewer particularly appreciates the horseshoe-style main-compartment opening because it provides convenient access.
