Good video. I tried to use the Kanken backpack just walking around day to day with it fully loaded to try it out. I found the straps extremely uncomfortable. 😳I guess I could’ve tried padding them but after it was cutting into my back, I thought I better use something that is a little more comfortable for travel.
