Is it possible to detach the bottom waist stap?

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).

Mine is put away in a very frigid attic and I will need warmer days to investigate this inquiry further. My recollection is that I do NOT believe that the waist strap is detachable. However, if you fill up this bag with quality camera equipment, you will not only want the waist support, you'll need that waist belt as an extra fail safe to protect your valuable investments.

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.

No, I do not think so unless you have long arms and are very agile. the lower front pockets maybe but not the much deeper back pocket. If you pull it off the handles you will have to get someone else to put the loops back on the handles so it hangs again. It is a good idea but only if you have someone to help.

You can attach the strap to your waist. When I do that I tie the straps in a double knot and have no trouble with it. I do not use the strap like a belt as it is too long for me. It does not fall off when tied.

Yes you can detach it, the material is wash cloth friendly, but throwing it in the washer should be fine.

Is isn't detachable in the traditional sense, but you could pull it off completely without damaging the straps.

It can be. There are some photos on the web that show it. You basically would use the belt for the front end of the suspenders and then the d-rings on the pack for the back.

The waist straps are removable. The sternum straps are not but are not so big that they would be a bother.

Absolutely. Half of the belt buckle is permanently attached to one end of the belt. The other end of the belt goes through the other half of the buckle and folds back over itself and secures with Velcro. Almost the entire length of belt has soft side with a small patch on other end of rough side. The belt's minimum setup is 28 inches and the maximum is 48 inches. Any and every finite adjustment of waist size in between is possible. When setup properly, the belt folds inward and no Velcro is shown. Also the joining of the two sides of Velcro is held tight by the pressure of being sandwiched between the outside of the belt and your body so it is very secure.

Yes. You would be able to adjust the length. The cloth has unfinished ends.

Oh yeah! There's a release lever to unstrap. It comes with 2 straps and releasing doesn't damage the locking mechanism. The straps are quite long. You may want to trim them a bit.

The staps are quite adjustable; I have been very impressed with mine.Good luck.

The bottom is attached - it doesn't come off. I have a larger one that Velcros, but I actually like this one better because it's all one piece.

Sure but I don't think you can remove it and reattach on the left side if that's what you mean.

Unfortunately, not...unless you attach to one of the top loop (wouldn't advise). On both sides are shoulder padding. If you do attach, it'd have to be around belly or just at the chest.

I had to rig it onto mine. There wasn't enough room for me, to use that loop. The loop at the bottom of the stap, ties back through its self

You could do that. I would use the waist strap with a single shoulder strap help keep it on your shoulder. Without the waist strap it probably won't stay on.

Not exactly, no. The slot for a belt is 1 1/2 inches. My guess is you could force it, it would just pull down the top of your pants a little (since the top of the pants is what carries the weight, not the belt). I'd recommend either getting a narrower belt, or going with a different holster. (For the record, this is a good little holster, though.)
