When I was putting together the “How To” on choosing a bag, I was thinking about the different accessories each bag offers and which ones I could do without. And that got me thinking, are there any items which, if left off a bag, would cause you to immediately cross it off your list as a potential purchase?
Look at the list below and let me know if there is one or more:
Hidden backpack straps
Waist Belt
Sternum Strap
Shoulder strap attachment
Lockable/Locking zippers
Internal compression straps
External Compression Straps
Inside pockets
Side handles
Or is there anything else I left off?
