Backpack luggage strap suggestion - perhaps a more elegant solution

[Starlionblue]

I am very keen on the backpack, and I will almost certainly buy it. I know that I am nitpicking here, but I do feel that a more elegant solution for the luggage strap was available.

 

The current solution with the removable strap is fine, but I think that my current Victorinox backpack solves this in a simpler and more clever fashion. The padding for the user's back is horizontally split into three sections, with the middle piece only attached at the sides, allowing to serve double duty as a luggage strap by slipping the suitcase handle behind it as needed. No need for a separate strap and no need a strap that is intrusive while wearing.

 

See pics.

 

Just my $0.02.

I just went on a trip and didn't have any major issues with the LTT method, but I did notice that my back got super hot while wearing the bag with the luggage strap attached. Had no desire to remove the strap and reinstall it constantly over multiple plane connections etc. Maybe there is a better solution but the LTT version worked. Maybe a V2 of the bag will refine it like the one you posted.

I'm probably missing something here. Is it not easier just to wear the bag on your back and pull the case normally?

I can only speak for myself, but... No.

 

Or I should say it depends. If I'm in an airport or similar place with flat surfaces, it's much more comfortable to mount the bag on my spinner suitcase. Less warm, if nothing else. If I'm somewhere with "rougher ground", the backpack on the back makes sense.

Also, for things like check-in, having the bag already at a comfortable height makes it easy to reach the stuff you need inside.

Either way a luggage strap on my backpack is a must-have for me.

I agree with you. I always mount the bag on my suitcase while commuting on flat surface.

sometime I just want to sit down and rest for a few minutes maybe while waiting for flights etc.

and when its time to move I can just drag the suitcase and go.
