I bought this pack specifically because it was advertised as having the top compartment convertible to a hip pack. This is not at all true. The top compartment has no way of attaching to the hip belt. The hip belt can be detached alone with two tiny side pockets that would not even hold a water bottle. All other features appear standard for a large backpack.
I’ve only used this for one climb so far, but it’s been great as it was easy to pack and very comfortable to wear. Straps and belt are easy to adjust to get the right fit and was exactly the size I was looking for
Bought as a gift for my Boy Scout. He loves it and we both love the adjustments, rain cover, and multiple storage areas.
