Umm...I think the question was about compressing the load, not load lifter or load bearing adjustment. The two sets of straps Andrew mentioned are for making the load sit better on the shoulders/hips. Compression straps are for taking up slack in the bag in the case it isn't full. There are straps on the side that could be used for compression, but are really meant for holding skis and other things on the sides. If this pack isn't full, it will not compress down as well as the Naos series.

Yes it does. It has them down along the hip belt as well as along the shoulders for compressing the pack more snugly and closer to your body.
