re: #85 ckkatz

The hip and sternum straps really make a difference. Since I try to pack light, the pack is not too hard on my 63-year-old knees and ankles. Roller bags have their place, but for trekking around from place to place, they are more a nuisance than a boon. I only use my roller bag for my annual junket back to see the fam, and the smaller one for a short trip to some hotel somewhere in China..
