Are the backpack straps removable if desired?

Yes! That's why I love this bag so much. I can carry it whichever way I want. And the backpack straps are super easy to connect and are really padded for comfort. :)

Yes they are! The bag also comes with an additional strap so you can wear it like a regular bag/messenger bag.

Yes it is removable, however I find it very useful to carry things in. My personal preference would be not to remove it as it is very handy.

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.

Straps no, there are pockets through out. I ended up getting a pouch to put all my sissors and stuff in and putting it on one of the bags shoulder straps.

No, the weights are not removable (no pockets), but I believe they do come in different weight options.

yes, the straps through the back portion (shoulder straps) can be removed and thoroughly cleaned but the strap which feeds between the legs cannot be easily removed. The "leg" strap attaches from inside the center post. You may be able to remove the strap if you dismantle the post

Apparently not. It has a 1-1/2" strap running end-to-end (with a 2-1/2" shoulder pad), but no backpack straps.

No not really. The straps are really only made to be held in the hands. True to its name, it's a tote~

it is not removable, unless you cute it off. i am not a fun of that either. the strap is very short, won't affect anything, so i just leave it there, does not feel anything wrong with it.

Could be, but much better as a backpack. Straps are sewn to the bag and not removable. In backpack mode it works great when exercising, or when you need both hands like grocery shopping.

Yes it is detachable but the buckles, will appear on each side of the carrying bag after it is detached, which will make it unattractive.

No, they are not removable unfortunately. I think they did that to make them very sturdy but I do wish they were adjustable.

Doug, my straps are held with rivets. I guess you could remove the rivets and reattach using screws and nuts how you wanted.

The shoulder straps do not remove on the one I have but I believe they have added that feature to the newer models!

No. The bottom compartments are not removable and I couldn't not change the configuration.

No. The straps are attached to the hydration pack for both the shoulder portions and the belly area.

I'm pretty sure there is not an additional shoulder strap. I'm not sure why you wouldn't use just one or both of the backpack straps since they work great. There is also a handle type strap on top.
