On the OV website, half the reviewers are complaining about the vest. A lot of chaffing, tough to dial in, lists of pockets that are too small. Apparently, people are also wanting a better belt to act more like a regular hip belt for load transfer and not just a stabilizer strap.
This is impossible to transfer weight with hip belt on this pack. Packs like this size are too small to be able to be long enough to reach low for hip belt transfer. If they made it longer then volume would either increase and just be normal non running pack or it would be a skinny tube shape and that shape would present it's own problems like not fitting on shoulders correctly.
Would be cool to see an ultra fabric 55l version of this pack with a hip belt. The cs40 is a little too minimal for me. Skyline adds some cool storage options. I just ordered this pack as a day pack for trips on trail with my kid It looks like a great UL feature rich day pack for both my and some of the extra gear for the kid...styling looks great btw

Any chance that you could show a video of the small and large filled side by side, next to a medium person whose height measurements you tell us of?
