I’m so with you on the giant bum bags being absolute shite. I theorize that people who spend big bucks on them (or other stuff) will not say anything negative about them. There is even a bum bag out there with shoulder straps and a back panel. Wow. Isn’t that clever. Right up there with coil zippers that convert a jacket into a cape. Genius. I’ve been looking into these vests a lot. The Salomon ones seem overly complex with respect to chest straps. The Arcteryx ones look better but pricy.
