Nordace Laval – Smart Backpack

I’ve been traveling with this backpack for a year. The size and pockets is perfect for what I need to pack but it’s SO UNCOMFORTABLE to wear. Once you load it up with your travel essentials, it’s too heavy to wear without the sternum strap. And the sternum strap is only designed for men. I’m 5’4” female, fairly average sized, and I have to use the sternum strap at the very top of its track, and it’s still too low for my body. It pops off constantly under the weight of the bag. I hate it. Looking back at this page now, I am seeing it only advertised with males in the photos, yet the bag does not specify it’s only for men. So disappointed.
