Right out of box,everything is well made just by seeing it for the first time.Especially the support hooks that attach to bags.No wimpiness here,well made.The straps,size,was "Iffy" for me at first,but they are great.Smaller in the width,than others have had in past,allow more manuverability.Overall,very comfortable also,good weight distribution across shoulders.

Finally a good pair,after going through "chepoes" over the years.

Little pricy,but hey they are great.
