Anyone else find hip belts on rucksacks more of an annoyance unless trekking for more than say 3 days?
When i was younger and did some hillwalking, it was always with a largish sac with hip belt but i found them a bit annoying and rubbing.
Smaller sacs with just a stabilising strap were comfier for me on day trips.
Which brings me to the use of military type sacs that are made for wearing above belt order.
I love my Munro and Centurio by Berghaus and will happily strap gear on the outside for up to two or three days out.
Having read a lot of complaints about said type of sacs,'cos of back length and lack of hip belt,i'm wondering if anyone else feels the same as me and actually likes using them.
Should say for the three seasons apart from a real cold winter spell.
