I just got the women's version of this pack, and I was hoping that the floating lid would work as a lumbar pack. The straps on the lid aren't even close to long enough. Are there extenders somewhere or is the lid just removable?

On My Primero 60 Mens it is possible to remove the waist belt from the pack and clip it to the hood for a SUPER comfy day pack.

The REI flash 18 is a great pack for side trips and summit sprints. It is big enough for my 10 essentials and camera gear. plus it turns inside out to make a little stuff sack.

Jessica- It's simply a removable floating lid on the Women's Primero 65. Packs with lids that can be used as lumbar packs will have their own hip belt that slips into an internal sleeve. With all the aftermarket straps, webbing and buckles available these days, you might be able to rig something up, but I've never seen it done, and in all honesty, the comfort and fit of lids as lumbar packs isn't something I've ever been too thrilled with anyway. Another idea would be to maybe look into a small, light rucksack that you can use as a stuff sack or easily roll up and stow away in a corner of the main pack for short off-trail excursions (So much more functional and comfortable!). Something like a Marmot Kompressor (+) comes to mind. Not the best news, I know, but hopefully it gave you something to go with.
