Does the new http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CamelBak-Vantage-30-Hydration-Pack-3L/CAM0245M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125586#question_125586 CamelBak Vantage 30 Hydration Pack - 3L I have the old version of this pack that is blue. Does the new one also have a metal stay in the DVIS panel? This was one of the upgrades I wanted to see cuz it tended to flop around a bit when loaded up. Also, how do you guys tighetn the waist belt? I usually have to unbuckle, pull the webbing, then force the buckles together to get a truly snug fit. I wish they would have a better design for cinching down the waistbelt. The design on my Kelty Redcloud is great - there's a metal clip/ring that's swen on to the hipbelt about 5 inches from the buckle. The webbing passes through this clip and so when you pull, you pull the webbing out away from you and that pulls the straps tight, giving you a really snug fit. Or am I just picky about how the waist belt tightens? question_125586 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 23:20:35 GMT Does this pack work well for short-longer distance runs on the http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CamelBak-Rogue-Hydration-Backpack-2.1L/CAM0136M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125353#question_125353 CamelBak Rogue Hydration Backpack - 2.1L Does this pack work well for short-longer distance runs on the road? question_125353 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:26:02 GMT Write your question here..Im paddling a 6 man canoe for 18 miles http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CamelBak-Racebak-Hydration-Jersey-Mens/CAM0280M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_124233#question_124233 CamelBak Racebak Hydration Jersey - Men's Write your question here..Im paddling a 6 man canoe for 18 miles will this product work for hydration? question_124233 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:11:34 GMT Can I store a 14 inch notebook inside?
