No one from Drop acknowledged/answered this. With everything going on, I think it’s not shipping as stated. TOTALLY understand that, just wish I could have had an answer or even a response. That does bother me.

Bumping this question. I am curious how a BV500 would fit or be strapped on this pack?

dgerken81A BV500 will only fit vertically. The pack girth isn't large enough to allow a horizontal BV500.

dandurstonCan I assume a Frontiersman Bear Safe would fit vertical fine and still allow for packing around it?

BSkiYes it will fit vertically and there would be some additional girth to pack around it. You'd want to be a bit thoughtful not to cram too much in because the FBS has a pretty serious ridge on it, where you wouldn't want to bulge that into your back too much.

My BV 450 doesn’t fit so I use this pack when using an ursack. It’s a beautiful pack and I love it. It’s also bladder compatible which I didn’t realise at first and the tube home is well hidden!!

EnglishgardenJust an FYI: I got my BV450 to fit beautifully - super comfortable too. If you’re up for a second attempt, you may want to try with the pack completely empty at first. I put it in right at the bottom, vertically, and still had plenty of room for all the rest of my gear.

SweetjondThat’s what I was wondering too. The BV450 is the shorter version canister. Thanks for the info, you answered my question.

How does this backpack work for regular travel or is this mostly just for backpacking?

The backpack also works for regular travel, where features like the quick access pockets can be handy for accessing your items on the move. Where it differs from a regular travel pack is that it does place an emphasis on saving weight, so the fabrics are not as durable as typical luggage fabrics, nor is it as heavily padded as some travel backpacks are that don't worry about weight.

Any women tried this pack out? Wondering what the fit would be like versus a UL pack designed for women. (Love my xmid 2p tent by the way!)

We had several female testers for the pack and took their helpful feedback into consideration, such as with the sternum strap where we extended the rails taller so it could be moved higher if desired. So it's not a women's specific pack but it is a unisex design that should work well for most women.

I wish Drop would make adjustable backpack hip belts that go up to 55 inches. Fat people like to backpack too.

The hipbelt adjusts quite a bit and does up to about 55". I'd have to check precisely, but it goes to about 55".
