By Ranked #157 - Trail Running Hydration September 3, 2009

I have the old version of this pack that is blue. Does the new one also have a metal stay in the DVIS panel? This was one of the upgrades I wanted to see cuz it tended to flop around a bit when loaded up.

Also, how do you guys tighetn the waist belt? I usually have to unbuckle, pull the webbing, then force the buckles together to get a truly snug fit. I wish they would have a better design for cinching down the waistbelt. The design on my Kelty Redcloud is great - there's a metal clip/ring that's swen on to the hipbelt about 5 inches from the buckle. The webbing passes through this clip and so when you pull, you pull the webbing out away from you and that pulls the straps tight, giving you a really snug fit.

Or am I just picky about how the waist belt tightens?
