I purchased a second battery so I can keep one at work and one at home. This reduces the weight quite a bit. Same with power supply.

It's a solution I can't use : I move every day from one office to another, or to different customers sites... So I have to have everything with me...

I don't think these types of packs are designed to provide proper support with heavy loads

That's my guess, at least if they are not used with something like a proteus for support.
+ anyway they are not that big : you could not put a whole wardrobe inside... OTOH, you could put enough ammo, to make it really heavy !!

Ironsraven may have a good point : what I thought at first was a waist strap, is more of a sternum strap. And for moderate load, high up, pulled thight, it's quite easier to bear..
OTOH, I'm not in a great shape... and what I consider heavy, others may find it quite light ... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
