Short Compression Straps 2-Pack

I basically just bought these to enhance the look of my WPRT Modular Pack. And as such, I guess they do the job. But they are also constantly in the way when I want to get something in or out of the bag. It also feels like they are a little too short to fit this bag perfectly. When they are extended to the max, they still compress the bag a little and that would of course limit the amount of stuff I could put inside. The bag is huge so I don't expect this to be an issue for me in my daily commute, but considering the price of these straps, I expected it to work better.

I manly bought these straps so that I may hang thing non the underside if the back pack is to full and secondly for the looks. If you’re looking for an improvement in esthetics this is a great choice…if on the other hand your looking for something to extend the capabilities of your back pack you’re better of looking somewhere else.
The material is very nice. The straps are sturdy and the painting on the aluminum doesn’t scratch of even after rugged use. This sadly doesn’t make a real difference since the length adjustment inset looped therefore as soon as you hang something on them they’ll extend to they’re max length rendering this useless for this use since your stuff will be just abought to hit you in the caves at every step (exaggeration – just to get the point over.)
So my verdict would be. If you’re looking to improve looks this is the product for you otherwise keep looking.
