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.

No. Straps are not included. Just the a hooks which are permanently attached.

It is not removable, but you could cut it off if you didn't like or need it. The waist strap came neatly folded and tied together, I just left like that and it doesn't seem to get in my way.

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

It just has the one long shoulder strap ... not made to be a backpack as far as I can tell but im sure you could find a way to add backpack straps to it.

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

Not on this bag. It is a a backpack with removable chest and waist belts/straps.

Yes. The straps are adjustable. I also bought a separate chest strap as the pack did not come with one.

Yes you can remove the strap. I just tried to to make sure. I hope this helps.

Honesty, I don't know. I cut off the waist strap because it seemed silly and was in the way. I have had the backpack for over a year and have gotten good use out of it. So far, so good.

No, they are permanently attached. There are small areas of molle on the outer most ends of the bag though. There is another version of this exact bag with the three outer pouches attached by molle and therefore removable. Might be Condor. It's the exact same bag with just that difference, so if that's important to you look around on Amazon and you'll find that version.

Yes it is detachable but the buckles, will appear on each side of the carrying bag after it is detached, which will make it unattractive.

Yes, the strap is easily removable. This us a really nice bag...I love mine!

Yes the strap can be removed. I did not realize it before, but I just removed it.

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.

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.

Sorry Brittany, those straps well sewed to the backpack, but those are straps are necessary when the it's full of equipment (it really helps your back).
