I have a ULA Equipment Arctic pack (Epic predecessor) I bought off a BPL firesale awhile ago. I was looking at it last night and saw the shoulder straps weren't connected to anything, so I decided to connect them and try the pack on. But I couldn't find a spot to hook them on to. There simply is no connection point for them. And nothing is ripped/torn where they would normally be connected, so it's not like something is missing. The strap that hangs down from the shoulder strap that would normally be connected is threaded through a clip of sorts and connected to itself, forming a loop. So I'm wondering if, with the original Arctic, the straps simply looped around the hipbelt. Anyone know?
I'll take some pics when I get home tonight to illustrate what I'm saying.
