Comments about Mountainsmith Strappette Shoulder Harness:

I really enjoy my Mountainsmith "DAY" pack, in fact I'm on my second one. When I found out about these straps I immediately went and got a set. They transform the "DAY" from an oversized fanny pack that is floppy when fully loaded with a day hikes worth of water and essentials to a very stable and compact pack that will easily handle what you need to carry on a days outing. I especially like this as a full pack on your back in the Texas heat is miserable if you don't really need to carry more than a day packs worth of gear. These straps make the DAY pack into the perfect "half pack". Material quality, fit and feel is all typical of the excellent products Mountainsmith puts out.

This does not work well with the duffle bags. All the load shifts to the bottom and it just works better to use the straps that are on the bag. This probably will work better with the lumbar packs but the one I have is too old.

Used the strapettes to convert my lumbar pack into a functional backpack for school and play. Helps to distribute the load even more. Biggest problem was trying to figure out how to attach the non-clip ends of the strap to my pack.
