Are the backpack straps removable if desired?

Yes! That's why I love this bag so much. I can carry it whichever way I want. And the backpack straps are super easy to connect and are really padded for comfort. :)

Yes they are! The bag also comes with an additional strap so you can wear it like a regular bag/messenger bag.

No they are not removable. But I don't fin them intrusive at all when not in use. My only issue is with the size of the front pocket. Not very big. But the side ones do make up for it.

No. It's the one "annoying" thing about the backpack. The positives vastly outweigh this, though. Sometimes on my bicycle or motorcycle, the straps slap me, but it's really a minor issue. Mine has more than paid for itself over the years!

No. It has the two adjustable back straps. And the small loop at too. Just like a regular backpack.

No, the back pack handles are not removable but they are not bulky and will fold flat into the pocket.

No, the strap is attached securely on both sides. You can't remove it unless you were to cut it off, and I think cutting it off would ruin the bag in the process. I guess you could maybe sew on a new strap if you cut off the old one, but I have sewed quite a lot in the past, and I think it would be hard to make a new strap look right. I would not do it if it were me. If you want a shoulder strap, you should look for a different bag.

Yes. The provided straps are secured through rings on the bag. I had no issues with just the side racks.

There's actually backpack strap that detach for stand alone use. But yes it is Molle compatible and will attach to a vest/backpack/bag.

Yes completely removable. I'm using it as a laptop bag too. But when I need to carry my camera I just add the dividers.

Yes the shoulder straps are removable. You can remove them completely or simply disconnect them from the waist buckle.

Yes, the shoulder straps are removable. They have a buckle attachment. The shoulder straps come in handy, so I leave them on.

No they are not removable. Only pouches that you add on the sides where the webbing is will be removable.

Unfortunately not. That would be a convenient feature though. They can be a nuisance. Also, I just closed my gym locker and caught a closing clip on one of the straps and it broke, rendering it useless. Rather fragile plastic and I'll have to get it replaced as the straps are essential for any long or heavy carrys.

I'm not sure if the straps are completely removable but I know that you can use the lap straps alone.

I haven't tired to remove it, but it wasn't very easy to get on so I imagine not. Same with the straps...

Yes its removable but by instructions the straps nor crotch buckle should never be washed or submerged in water it should only be wiped with a damp cloth or baby wipe. You can use a damp cloth & dawn soap or baby shampok but never submerge in water

Apparently not. It has a 1-1/2" strap running end-to-end (with a 2-1/2" shoulder pad), but no backpack straps.
