There was a time when wearing one strap ruled the day, then one year maybe 98, every kid everywhere wore both straps again. I can't explain it. America peaked 96-98 ish.

And they had to be the longest setting in the straps. Not tight but super loose.

Oh that is true! When I got into hiking, I guess in the 2010’s, I learned a whole new philosophy around backpack design and usage 🤣

Pretty sure that's how scoliosis was born. Heavy back packs with loose straps.

Oh yeah, by the time I got into it (and I’m still v much a novice), the good bags already were designed for that and had chest and waste straps, etc.
