    Hey guys,

    Curious to see what backpack straps you guys use. Just purchased the Alpha 2 Hang-on.. no complaints at all but feel that better straps are a must.

    Thanks

    The Lonewolf padded straps are hands down the better straps. Wider, cushioned, and don't cut into my shoulders when I carry! Definitely a must buy!

    I just took a couple pieces of foam pipe insulation and put it on the original straps. Then wrapped it in cloth camo tape. It works great and looks pretty good too IMO.

    I have the Lonewolf padded straps and I love them. The stand packs so flat you do not need all of the big contraptions that some of these people use. You can take some kind of clip to clip to hold the two straps together on your chest and it will hold it just perfect.

    May want to opt for the comfort seat while your at it. Stock seat is good for about 20min. IMO

    The comfort seat is backordered everywhere I've looked. Amazon had them for a pretty decent price but they're backordered too! Know of anywhere else to find one?

    I had to wait for mine for a while but well worth it. IMO A little heavy but comfy. I use the old one for a back rest now.
