How do you attach the crampons? On the Mission 50, it's an actual pouch, but on the Mission 75, is shows just 4 D rings on the welded section. Thanks!

When I got my Sphynx I couldn't figure out how to attach the crampon straps either, and the attachments on the mission 75 look the same. Were there a couple weird extra straps that came with the pack? I can't find the website I remember, but this link shows a picture of how the sphynx straps attach. You have to un-thread the straps, pass them through the D-rings, then re-thread the buckles and the clips. http://www.backcountry.com/store/qanda/106773/How-do-the-straps-for-the-crampons-attach.html

Hey SkiandRock, I dont own the mission 75 but I do have an epic 45 and I believe the install is the same. Just thread the straps through from the additional fabric piece as shown in my picture.

I had the same problem with my Speed 40 pack. I found a solution that works very, very well. I picked up a pair of Voile Straps and they work perfectly. A pair of the 15" provided a very secure attachment for my Sabretooths. Backcountry.com even sells them: http://www.backcountry.com/voile-ski-straps-9-through-25-inches-vol0083
