Hey folks. Just got a stone glacier xcurve frame with small pack, and after only a day hunting with it on the waist straps were digging into my hip enough that it became painful to wear and left big bruises on either side. The shoulder straps became sore as well.
This is just a day pack, can't imagine how a fully loaded pack plus quarters would feel. Not what I expected from a pack at that price point. To me it looks like the belt strap should be thicker, wider and reach further around. Also had issues with the quick release sling snagging and having to yank on my gun several times very hard to get it to release. Very frustrating when needing your gun in a hurry. Its a shame because I like the light weight and design and seems like good quality. Wondering if anyone has had similar issues and if they found a way to remedy?
**Apologies, should have posted this in hunting gear. Cant figure out how to move it.
