Why doesn't the Diablo (Red) bag have compression straps that go all the way around the bottom like the others do? Look at the pics.

The bag has gaps on top where the rings are but could be easily taped over - note: do not put items on the bottom of the bag because it then pulls the bag down and puts pressure on the top rings.

3 velcro straps , 2 across the bottom (front and back) and 1 across the back but they run around the bottom and attach up the sides , very snug.Very nice bag , I like it a lot. I took a look at a lot of bags before I decided on this one and I made the right choice .

Nope. Very nice all around bag. Good construction and comfortable shoulder straps. Wheels would have been nice but may have been a hindrance.

Sort of - Sierra Designs have sleeping bags with hooks for thin bungee cords on the bottom of their bags. Obviously these cords would go around a therma rest and keep it in place. Big Agnes on the other hand has a sleve on the bottom of its bags where-in you slide a sleeping pad. Neither solution though is for a bag you already have...

Mine came with a drawstring bag, definitely not a compression bag. I looked to see if I could find one with a compression bag, there's another version of the recluse, but with an orange rainfly that shows the compression bag, interesting. Mine was the one with the green rainfly.

There is slight padding towards your back, but no padding towards the other compartments. If you need padding, but something else.

It would look odd... The bag is designed to straddle the bike rack... Anything between the rack and the bag would cause the arms of the bag to look more like wings.

My bag has two straps on on each side of the bag when open. I carry my bag and purse over my shoulder to work every day. The straps are not adjustable and won't go cross body but they are long enough. I find the vertical vs horizontal design easier to carry.

Hi Sharon.They are not long enough, you need to use the shoulder strap but I can tell you it's a great bag!!! I work in the accessories enviroment and I bought at least 10 of these bags for friends and sisters and I have 2 of them: it's the most convenient bag I found around for this price, believe me. I'm italian and I bought them in us and I asked later to my US colleagues to buy them on Amazon because they are not available in Europe; I tell you this to show how much I find it convenient. The Tote (I already have it) is more banal

I can imagine you could make that work? you will probably need to figure out a way to harness it laterally due to the size of the bag. It is a good sized bag and you might find yourself fighting with it to keep it in place??? otherwise you will not be disappointed with the bag as a garment bag even with the lack of small gear pockets.

Sorry, I can't help you there. Originally I thought I was supposed to use it around the back straps. But they're crossed anyway. Then I thought maybe if there was some way of keeping the straps crossed lower down, the pouch would stay up higher on the front. And the little velcro strap might do that. But it doesn't stay where I want it to be. So I never figured it out.

Whenever I do something active like biking and some hiking, I would use the secondary strap. That kept the backpack in its place no matter how much I was moving. To pull it to the side and use my camera, I would have to remove the secondary strap otherwise the bag would stay in place.

Mine have the same gathered bottom. I also purchased grocery store inexpensive bags and they also had the gathered bottom. Not sure why they are made that way.

I'm not sure what it's implying to be honest with you. Maybe the straps? Many items are chocking hazards for all babies/children. But I don't have my diaper bag around my baby. I've had this bag for several months now and I love it.

The straps are long enough to go over your shoulder. Like long purse straps but more heavy duty. I am 5'6" and if I hold the straps in my hand the bag is close to the ground but does not touch or drag. It's close, maybe have a few inches clearance.

If you don't have hook on one strap side, and loop on the other, then it is indeed missing something. Look at the picture of the vest. If yours doesn't resemble it, then return it. BTW- I found the SafetyPup people to be very interested in the satisfaction of their customers. I suspect they will make good ASAP on any issues you may have.
