• A weatherproof flap covers the main zipper and also helps reduce zipper damage due to airport handling. Two compression straps with quick-release buckles are on the top of this bag.
• This bag is called the "max" because it is sized to the maximum dimensions for checked luggage on U.S. domestic flights.
• This bag is perfect for transporting your internal frame pack. The S994 protects the pack straps & buckles from getting caught in baggage handling equipment — the first time I flew with this bag, one of the 1,000-lb. test nylon compression straps got ripped off! 'Better that your $70-duffle bag gets damaged, rather than your $400 Gregory pack. (We now make the compression straps removable or field replaceable).
• Sew on near the zipper is a 5cm (2") slider buckle which is an attachment point for a Kinesis harness so you can convert this bag to a backpack for airport transport.
• Constructed of tough 1000D nylon fabric with YKK's industrial-strength #10 self-healing coil zipper.
