this is made to be beat on and take it.this pack is not for everybody. if you drive around your neighborhood looking for hoa violations in your subaru before picking up your vegan pizza . you might want to look for a different pack
The front pockets are definitely quick release and a pain to get strapped back, called Frost River and asked if I could get buckles on instead of the brass tabs. They said they wasn't licensed to alter the bag. So you make the bag in Duluth but you can't put a buckle instead of a tab?
Excellent. Lots of character. Very comfortable with the optional shoulder straps
I ordered my Geologist Pack from Frost River. Wanted a nice looking but practical bag. I scanned a few sites but on visiting Frost River, I didn't go any further, they had all the bags I wanted. Its a comfortable fit, as long as its not too full and heavy, I plan to get some extra shoulder straps to fix that. Its big enough for everything I need and it never feels bulky and it squashes down nice when I've only a few things to put in it. Its my go to bag, work, travel, dog walking. and the odd supper market run. Its a great looking bag, versatile and strong, It probably wont get the action and adventure it was made for, but it will always be ready. Thanks Frost River for my great bag.
It was my present for my son. He loves my present so much. Quality is super. Thank you.
