Marmot Kompressor Plus Backpack - 1100cu in
May 14, 2012
I believe you're referring to the ice axe/pole loops. The head of the ice axe/tip of the collapsed pole sits in the flat loops on the bottom, and the shaft is held against the bag with the bungy loops that are near the drawstring. It's just short of a good design: most packs with this same setup have a little hook on the bungy loops that make this a lot easier (e.g. Lowe Summit Attack 30).

Well, Shadrock, the ingeniously designed compression straps allow themselves to be twisted into an ice axe loop as well as keep everything nice and snug.

Where are the ice tool loops? I see the little bungy bits, but not the bottom loops.

La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Running Shoe - Men's
June 16, 2009
I've been running Montrails for quite awhile and, as is the custom, normally get them 1/2 size up. How would these compare? My street shoe size is 10 & 1/2 and I didn't see any comments on the size of the toebox on the fireblades.
