Especially on delicate shit like osprey. That said the Alps pack you posted expands away from the frame for muling animals. So loaded up you have stuff in the way. Making a an argument to reach for a water bottle on a muling hunt pack that has molle on the belt for additional pouches is sill. It's even easier on the Alps one. Also +1 for non delicate mesh. The strap is also not compression only. Note pic
