The review notes that the strap adjusters can rub under the wearer’s arms. The Micro includes zipper garages, a feature shared with the larger versions, intended to provide added protection from the elements. The reviewer finds the strap stiff to adjust through its slides, although the strap stays securely in place afterward.
