On the two loops on the top of the pack, there is a strap with a small clip (not pictured in the picture w/ the pack) you feed into it. That is the only thing I'm not crazy about on the pack, but it is minimalist style of pack. I keep the strap clipped into one of the inside clips (on the top inside) on the pack whenever possible when I'm riding. I never want to have to dig through the pack or never loose them when I'm not hiking. I'm always worried to if I keep it on the outside it'll come off, snag you up in the trees and/or break. It would just suck to lose that strap & have to scramble up something like Cody Peak (half way it gets pretty gnarly at times). I got an extra strap for free from BD when I was worried it would get lost. They are pretty cool guys there at the SLC headquarters.
