I really wanted to like this pack. I was basically looking for a dry-bag -style backpack with a huge cavernous main compartment with a bit more features for commuting and carry-on luggage. This seemed to fit the ticket, but the placement of the buckles with adjustable straps are sewn on too high on the side of the pack. The purpose of these buckles are to fasten with the matching buckles on the lid to hold it down. BUT as you can see in the photo I attached, wherein I purposely filled the pack up and was barely able to fold the lid, the buckles meet up at the mid section of the pack, with the straps already fully pulled out to the max. So if the pack is not full, like in the second photo, I can roll the lid about 3 times (the backpack straps will not allow you to go further) and then the buckles will no longer hold the lid down properly because there’s too much slack due to the placement of the side buckles. They should have put them further down, close to the bottom, otherwise why even put adjustable straps that are pretty much useless? This configuration doesn’t keep the lid closed. Like at all. I will notice later on that the lid will unravel itself, because it is not compressed properly due to the useless straps. I can only barely keep the lid sealed properly during transport if I fasten the two top buckles together instead. But now I have two useless buckles and straps on each side of the pack which is an eyesore. Also, with the lid constantly unraveling, how can this…
