Below: With special custom XL length full dyneema Kangaroo. Close-up detail below shows removeable compression straps. We call that feature Musical Compression straps. When both the buckles and straps are removeable, as in the LBP packs ( this feature can be on any McHale Pack ) , the feature is called MX compression straps. The vertical roll top strap is all that is really needed to vary the bag size with varying loads. The side 'compression' straps can be handy for strapping items to the side - items like skis, or diminishing volume so a pack is flatter against the back. The small rectangular hardware loops that hold the compression system can be used for a cord compression system as well. This model also shows dyed Full Dyneema Water Bottle Pockets size large - 64 oz bottle capacity. 2 sets of yellow velcro pole/axe loops are shown. An accessory red 500 cordura regular basic belt pouch is also shown. Pack bottom is 6 oz. dyed Full Spectra. Last photos show pack almost fully extended and with 2 Layer Summit Flap. Back vents are shown; The UL version left is vinyl covered glass-fiber with varying thicknesses of Evazote in between. These are tough enough to last through the PCT. Everlasting LenoMesh is the other option. Velcro opening allows foam changes, cleaning, and customizing. Regular price includes Lg or small water pockets and Full Spectra bottom and reinforcing rim above. A pack like this can make a long thru-hike a joy rather than a burden. The main pack bag minus the kangaroo ( 400+ cuin ) in the first row of photos is loaded to about the 2800-3000 cuin. level. Final photo shows an LBP 37 with small water bottle pockets that still holds quart bottlesd but are 2" less circumference. Pack also has a regular length Kangaroo that ends just below the 2 Layer Bladder Holder Summit Flap. The last pack photo with red water pockets is also of a fit that was made for somebody that is 6'6 and is 2" longer than the other model. The final photo shows the patented Q-Bayo. When the hinge is folded the harness/pack bag shortens to accomodate it.
