what is the purpose of a waist strap... like for real
and why did you spend 275$ on a back pack.
It's this one: Eagle Creek Ultimate Explorer LT Travel Pack - 2007 BCS from Backcountry.com
The purpose is so load weight goes straight to your legs without being on your back. It makes carrying 40+ pounds for long periods of time relatively easy.
I bought it because it was far more comfortable than any other I'd tried, and it has lots of really useful features, e.g removable daypack, built in rainfly/duffel bag, and it was by far the most well thought out.
