New feature. Aluminum stays. Very comfortable.
Those stays look familiar! ;) Did you know that they can be bent to match the natural curve of your backbone, like the stays in an Aarn pack? That pack looks a lot neater than my hacked and modified ("Aarnified") MMP. :laugh:
Yep, those stays are a ripoff of WV's mod. :boggle:
Post office is closed today... your Front Pack will ship tomorrow!
I tried the longer stays, around the house anyway; I like the short stays better. When I have a little more time I will remove the carbon stays and try just the longer Aluminum set; that might be better.Quote:

Yeah, the new MMP has no carbon stays... just aluminum.

Received my front panel with the added suspension yesterday. The panel attached to the MMP with ease and is very comfortable to wear. I can now carry all the items I need at hand in front. No need to take pack off to retrieve first aid pouch, head lamp or snacks.

I mentioned the added suspension. This allows me to wear the front panel as a stand alone chest pack. I modified it with buckles to add to the ease of donning.

I also bar tacked the crossover in the back to keep every thing in place.
Did not notice how dark the first photo was until after posting. I lighten it up but still grainy.

Interesting...
I have never used the front panel as a stand alone front panel. I have used it as a small day pack and messenger style bag. For example, I can reconfigure the front panel in field to use as a day pack for fishing; everything I need is already at hand (shoulder straps, etc.) for this.
Gonna hafta try the stand alone front panel now...
... which, in turn, were inspired by Rat's hip-belt attachment stays. :laugh:Quote:
