Petzl Transporter Strap Issues?

[hannahb]

I’ve recently got the 60l new version, and trudged it across an Austrian plateau carrying stupid weights that my back has thankfully has forgiven me for. It’s very comfortable and hasn’t shown any signs of failure. I recommend! I also have a mk2 45l but seem to have gotten lucky with it not failing on me

I'm curious - why use one of these bags instead of a rucksack for that sort of purpose?

I was leaving my caving kit at the entrance of the cave we were pushing, so the waterproof Transport was better than my main rucksack for that. Plus, I already had all my kit packed into the transport anyway, so it was easier to just throw it in the van.

The strapping and support on the Transport was very comfortable, on par with my main rucksack
