Are the waist strap and chest strap removable/replaceable for when you don't need them?

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, they are attached. I could imagine, though, that you could cut them and reattach with velcro.

No they are not removable. But I don't fin them intrusive at all when not in use. My only issue is with the size of the front pocket. Not very big. But the side ones do make up for it.

no, they are not removable, but my son rarely need them and they don't seem to get in the way at all.

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.

They cannot be removed; however, the waste strap is not in the way once it is strapped together and shortened in length because it now rests behind you on your back. The chest strap is not a nuisance, you barely know it's there.

No, the weights are not removable (no pockets), but I believe they do come in different weight options.

I believe it is either attached by another snap or velcro on the other, unseen side. At any rate, the strap can be taken completely off, which I have done with mine. I actually don't use this holster much as I usually carry my gun concealed in different, inside-the-pant type of holster.

No they are not removable. Only pouches that you add on the sides where the webbing is will be removable.

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

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.

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.

Yes, you can take the strap off that you would normally place around our waist and use your belt instead to put through the loop.

Yes, but there are two flaps with triglides permanently attached to e bag where the waist strap ties in. It's unnoticeable while wearing without waist straps, I suppose you could always just cut them off, I plan to build a plate carrier that snaps into those flaps myself, while I have the waist support from a maxpedition proteus pack (which can be folded into the versipack for edc).Very versatile system, with every penny.

I did not try to use the chest strap, I ordered it by mistake, it was my fault. So I never returned it

Yes, the shoulder strap is removable. This is a very well designed case in every way

Yes you can remove the weights, they are in like a pocket and all you have to do is pull the upper part back and take out the weights, you can also buy more weights to add to the vest, more weights the bigger the size can't remember how much for each, you can visit hyperwear.com and it will tell you. It is a very nice comfortable vest. Hope this helps.

Yes.The metal screw can be removed and the Quick Grip device can be used as a strap-only type of grip.

The waist/hip belt is not removable that I can see. I find the Osprey Kestral belts to be very comfortable, well padded and adjustable.

Technically the are removable; however, I think they are made to only adjust. I don't believe they were made to remove them because the harness straps sewn into the back portion would just flap around and there wouldn't be any way to secure it. In other words the packs are a continuation of the straps that keep entire back pack together. Hope this answers your question.

Since the strap goes around the neck and across the chest it is unlikely that the camera could be removed with out taking it off the strap. The system of buckles and strap in the area of the camera would be difficult to cut through to get the camera off the strap and, since this strap screws on to the camera tripod mount it would take several turns to get the camera loose that way. I can't speak for the cleverest pick pocket, but I would think most would look for easier pickings.
