I understand about the straps and both my DE and Mono NF GM’s are usually loaded when I carry them, so they can be quite heavy. However, since I purchased the strap covers for both, the straps are comfortable and they don’t dig into my shoulders. I will attach a pic of the vachetta covers and the DE covers match the brown trim. They work for me, just a suggestion.
Huh. Very interesting...thanks for sharing!!
