'My stash' stands at 30! I was just thinking of upping up another ten. Thanks for the reminder. I use mine every day. Thanks for the list. John

Backpacks should not rest on the shoulders. A proper backpack fit is to have a wide, preferably padded, belt around the top of the hips and the hips should bear all the weight of the backpack. Then, the shoulder straps are there to prevent the pack from tilting sideways or banging you in the back, or tipping to the rear and pulling you over backward. They should be snug enough to accomplish this without undue pressure or rubbing.
