Are the backpack straps removable if desired?

Yes! That's why I love this bag so much. I can carry it whichever way I want. And the backpack straps are super easy to connect and are really padded for comfort. :)

Yes they are! The bag also comes with an additional strap so you can wear it like a regular bag/messenger bag.

Yes it is. You can completely remove the bladder and tube from the backpack.

The one I received has detachable backpack straps. I have been using this bag constantly for 8 months and I love it!

The should straps really aren't removable but I use the waist strap and not the shoulder all the time bc my kid is 4.

Doug, my straps are held with rivets. I guess you could remove the rivets and reattach using screws and nuts how you wanted.

No. I actually had to search the Internet to find pictures of the straps in use. They are loops without any adjustment possibilities.

Yes, the weights are removable. The vest has 11 pockets for weights on the front and 11 more on the back that can be removed from the inside so they don't fall out while you are active.

No, they are not removable unfortunately. I think they did that to make them very sturdy but I do wish they were adjustable.

No they are not removable. We do not use them at all as we don't use the bags for long distance hiking, we use them as swimming bags. The boys put there gear bags and towel inside and don't have the need to use these straps.

Unfortunately not. That would be a convenient feature though. They can be a nuisance. Also, I just closed my gym locker and caught a closing clip on one of the straps and it broke, rendering it useless. Rather fragile plastic and I'll have to get it replaced as the straps are essential for any long or heavy carrys.

No. it is stitched in. I suppose you could cut the sewing, that would make it removable but then you would just have a cargo strap.

No the waist strap does not come off but it does sinch down to the pack so its like its not there.

Yes, the shoulder straps are removable. They have a buckle attachment. The shoulder straps come in handy, so I leave them on.

Yes the shoulder straps are removable and you can just use the waist strap!

No the bottom waist strap is not removable nor because of the weight of the pack would you want to. Mine fully loaded weighs over #30 and the waist strap transfers weight from your shoulders to your hips.

Yes there are straps on the bottom to mount things. (like bed roll) also loops to attach things. Yes rain on top. Straps are secured to pack with sewing, they seem secure. We loaded pack to 50 lbs and no problems. Yes there is a strap at chest level and waist. All are adjustable. We had one side pocket zipper that broke. Other than that it has been an awesome backpack.
