Westjet treated me to a Palos in Sedona this spring after my bike and I arrived on a flight, while the rest of my kit wandered in an airport vortex for a few days. Now, it's my go-to for rides up to four-ish hours. I'm a skinny kid, 5' 10", 150 lbs. I (gasp!) followed the instructions with this bag, first loosen the supplementary straps. Then snug the main grey straps, then snug the supplementary straps. If I do that, the thing is glued to me! (As I drink down the 1.5L reservoir, I continue to snug the supplementary straps down.) Cam, there's also a little key retention clip in behind the zippered pocket on the outside flap of the bag. That may free up some room for snacks in one of the side pockets. ;)
