great packs, great inventor but he would do himself a favor getting someone else to review them. he is not a great speaker, out me to sleep.

@kthanid83 I think Patrick does a great job. If you want a flashy "car salesman" there are other pack companies out there. Having Patrick do all of the videos keeps it personal, it's like having your buddy tell you about his gear.

can you use this pack with a full military kit such as a belt rig and body armor w/chest rigs. If you have to keep your hip area smooth or clear than I take it there is no way to wear this with my rig?

When carrying a very heavy load with my Navigator, I experienced significant, painful bruising on both my hip bones after just one day (the first of several in the field. not fun). Any suggestions on how to prevent that from happening while keeping the weight on my hips?

probably need to tighten the pad or shift the load of your pack around. sounds like your weight was sitting on your hips the whole time and not on your back.

This recommended solution is from Mr. Patrick Smith (two parts):
Here's how to use the waisbelt properly: 1)Before putting the pack on
LOOSEN the four Delta Straps completely. 2)Put the pack on, shrug your
shoulders up so that the lumbar pad on your Navigator rises fully into the
lumbar region of your back.

Mr. Smith's reply, part 2:
3) Tighten the waistbelt VERY tightly. Shrug
your shoulders and tighten again. 4) At this point DO NOT tighten the four
Delta Straps. These straps are needed ONLY for very athletic moves like
climbing, and are very likely being overtighted, resulting in undue
pressure on your hipbones; so to correct don't use them at all.

Mr. Smith's comment, part 3:
You can
begin to use again after you learn that the main belt itself is quite
comfortable alone. Re-engage the Delta Straps only when needed, and
lightly--don't crank!
