on the maxpedition falcon 2 to adjust the straps, can you pull straight down, or do you have to adjust the buckle, this may be my first backpack,

To adjust the waist and chest buckles you have to pull sideways, for shoulder straps you just pull down. Very intuitive.

No. I actually had to search the Internet to find pictures of the straps in use. They are loops without any adjustment possibilities.

It fits the maxpedition falcon II well, don't know if that gives you any frame of reference. it s wider and shorter than a camelback 2l Bag. and sets a lot flatter when filled due to the way it closes.

Nicole, if I understand your question you're asking if the iPad comes out of the bag easily? The answer is: it can be taken out but not that easily which is a good thing because the case is good protection. If you are asking about the straps yes they come off. I use it that way at home because they get in my way with as much use as I give my iPad. I use the straps when I carry the iPad out of the house. The buckles don't bother me as far as cosmetically or get in my way when the straps are off. I love it and recommend it!

You can adjust the buckles depending on how full the bag is to give more room but it actually snaps shut to hold it closed. The snap is right under the buckle.

It is adjustable, I am size 46 and it fits me well. There is room for a little more I'm fact. The only complaint I have about the pack is the MOLLE straps on the sides are not properly sized. I attached an IFAK to the side but only after struggling to get the backend loops to accept the straps. You can do it but it ain't easy. Other than that it is a fine pack that will carry a lot of weight

If he means the clips that are hooked onto the handle straps, down at the base, we have a shoulder strap attached to two of those. Is there a strap in your contents? If he means the slide-in buckles (like a baby car seat) that are at each end when its all rolled up, those go down to the matching buckles at the very bottom of pack...to hold the upper part down securely. We didn't see those right away, as they were under the base. Hope he's already figured it out, Christy From: Amazon Answers

Hi. The straps close more like a belt buckle. I have used it many times and no problems at all.

No, the strap does not adjust. I don't see a need for the strap to be adjustable.

No, you just have to keep the chest buckle buckled so that you can tighten or loosen the straps evenly. We love ours and never have any trouble.

Its front and back adjustable straps can be increased to reach 28 and 1/2 inches from the shoulder padding that sits on the shoulder to the bottom of the M.O.L.L.E. webbing. With some adjusting on the rear waist strap, I measure approximately 49 inches (including the buckle length) as the max you can increase it to. I can't give you an answer with that but hope it will help you with deciding it yourself.

As stated earlier, this pack uses a Velcro strap to attach to the seat post and a buckle that loops through the underside of the seat. After the straps are tightened the Aero pack is quite secure. It definitely won't fall off accidentally. There can be some shifting sideways (less than 3/8") but it's not disruptive at all. What's best for you may depend on how you ride most of the time. If you use your bike to run errands, commute to work, exercise or just for fun this pack should work well. If you are a serious enthusiast (purist) or marathon rider the Aero pack may not be for you due to that added drag or weight. I like mine and find that it's a nice place to put my keys and emergency tools.

Nope, just velcro and the strap. Strap can be adjusted but I assure you, your equipment is secured. You can adjust straps accordingly.

Sorry, I can't help you there. Originally I thought I was supposed to use it around the back straps. But they're crossed anyway. Then I thought maybe if there was some way of keeping the straps crossed lower down, the pouch would stay up higher on the front. And the little velcro strap might do that. But it doesn't stay where I want it to be. So I never figured it out.

Yes, but the buckle is only on one side & that side cannot be shortened (without cutting & resewing the strap). The other strap is threaded through the buckle which grips by friction, cinching down on the strap at whatever point it's closed. As it is closed, the buckle "cams over" & thereby tightens beyond what can be achieved by merely pulling to snug up the strap.

There is no buckle. This is meant to be used in conjunction with a duty belt. It provides molle attachment points to the belt and offers added comfort. The duty belt runs through the padded cover. There are slits in the padding in the areas where a holster would go. I'm running a safariland ALS holster on the right side and a condor triple pistol mag holder on the left. Dump pouch in the rear. I wear size 32 in the waist and the medium was perfect for me.

I know it is a little harder to do but you need to load the strap through the bottom of the buckle. While depressing the thumb tab you have to thread the strap from the middle on the bottom to the outside. That will take care of any slipping problems. I have a 400+ lb. friend that works out with me and never has a problem at all with them.
