Are the waist strap and chest strap removable/replaceable for when you don't need them?

Unfortunately not. That would be a convenient feature though. They can be a nuisance. Also, I just closed my gym locker and caught a closing clip on one of the straps and it broke, rendering it useless. Rather fragile plastic and I'll have to get it replaced as the straps are essential for any long or heavy carrys.

No, they are attached. I could imagine, though, that you could cut them and reattach with velcro.

No they are not removable. But I don't fin them intrusive at all when not in use. My only issue is with the size of the front pocket. Not very big. But the side ones do make up for it.

no, they are not removable, but my son rarely need them and they don't seem to get in the way at all.

No they are not removable. We do not use them at all as we don't use the bags for long distance hiking, we use them as swimming bags. The boys put there gear bags and towel inside and don't have the need to use these straps.

They cannot be removed; however, the waste strap is not in the way once it is strapped together and shortened in length because it now rests behind you on your back. The chest strap is not a nuisance, you barely know it's there.

There's a chest strap as well as a padded waist strap. The more I use it the more I like it.

Yes you can remove the holster. I have replaced mine but with another Velcro type holster.

No, the hooks are attached to the vest. It looks like a belt, but you cannot remove it as a belt.

Yes. I don't have it with me. I'm sure it has waste buckles. I can't remember about the chest ones.

No they're not removable. You might want to consider the newer Thule 22" 45L Carry-on, which is about the same size as the one you're looking at, but more of a 'normal' piece. It has no backpack straps, and more room. I replaced my 38L--I only used it as a backpack once--and I think it's a much more versatile bag, with more useable room.

They are removeable I believe and you can definitely just use the lap straps.

I am *positive* you can, for 2 reasons. 1) the straps are specifically under warranty for 2 years. So they have to be able to replace them, just them. 2) I had to replace my tray earlier this year, and a quick call to their customer service and they shipped it out. Neither items are specifically listed as buyable "parts" on their website, yet they will have them. Give them a call, great quick human customer service: (800) 545-4411

Yes, the shoulder strap is removable. This is a very well designed case in every way

The chest strap is sold separately. I had one from my old Garmin 305 that works great.

Both the strap and the backpack straps clip on, so they are completely removable! I usually just use one or the other and leave the unused one at home as I tend to need every bit of space available =)

Honesty, I don't know. I cut off the waist strap because it seemed silly and was in the way. I have had the backpack for over a year and have gotten good use out of it. So far, so good.

The waist belt can be replaced but you'll never need to do it. It is adjustable from 26" to 60" & the torso Length is adjustable from 15" to 19.5"

No, its not removable but I ware only the shoulder straps and the waist strap is not a problem.

No. it is stitched in. I suppose you could cut the sewing, that would make it removable but then you would just have a cargo strap.

No they are not removable. Only pouches that you add on the sides where the webbing is will be removable.

Not on this bag. It is a a backpack with removable chest and waist belts/straps.
