>>1771132Yea, all cope mechanisms for an inherently inferior design when it comes to hauling heavy weights.
>>1771146Indeed, as I said they're made for climbing. You throw in ropes and shit it's going to be fairly heavy, so it's a compromise between stability and carry comfort.
If you're hiking on a trail there's no need for that compromise.
>>1771152Yes, that's closer to waist and what other call above hipbone, so maybe a bit tomato potato in the arguing. But often you see it hanging further down. Partly because people don't know how to fit a backpack and partly because of the design.
Pic related. Green marking where the weight should be centered IMO.
