Depends on which version of the pack you get. My understanding is that the older versions the strap only went over the side pockets while in newer versions there is a slit that allows you to put the strap either over or under the side pockets. This can be seen in the photos above. The blue pak doesn't have the slits, but upon close inspection you can see that the orange pack offers the slits in the side pockets to make the change.

A slit was sewn into each end of the mesh side pockets so you can choose whether to route the strap over or under the pockets. I never had a problem with it going over the pocket, but this is a perfect solution.

thank you. I was referring to the side pockets. I had thought they rerouted them under the pocket like the with Nimbus Trace. I mean, why would you put a compression strap over someplace where you'd like to keep a water bottle or something.

If you are referring to the side mesh pockets or the hip belt the answer is that the straps go over each of those pockets.
