Put the bag on back and go. Simple, right? You probably know this stuff already, but here's a reminder just in case:
You're looking for a snug fit without restricting movement.
1. Balance your straps first, then adjust based on your shoulders.
2. A higher ride is more comfortable, especially with heavier loads.
3. Tidy up your floppy straps with the elastic bands.

The Max EDC comes with a magnetic sternum strap installed. The sternum strap is useful for keeping the bag stable while on the move and support for heavier loads.

Adjust the height position by hooking the strap up or down the ladder system.

Tighten the strap just enough so it feels locked in place without feeling tight or restricting breathing.

Each shoulder strap has a built in pocket suitable for stowing a single card. Great for transport cards!

*It is not designed for wallets or card cases.

The key leash is easily accessible from the side pocket. Useful for clipping on keys, access cards. It's also removable if you'd prefer not to use it or attach it to another spot in the bag.

The foam insert is located inside that hidden zipper pocket in the Work Compartment. It's there for support, and we recommend keeping it in. 

If you're trying to shed all and any excess weight, replacing it with your own frame sheet, or you're planning to wash the bag, here's how to remove it.

The secret pocket is great for storing emergency cash, keys or a bluetooth tracker. You can access this pocket via the hidden zippered compartment in the Work Compartment.
