I have version 2, and despite the "dimples" the straps do not stay in place when placed on the outside of the pack. I have tried vertical as well as horizontal.

REI makes a small pack URL-1, I believe that lacks about 1/4 to 1/2" of circumpherence to fit the BV. A good seamstress could remedy that, and I am considering purchasing one to modify, and also to use as a day pack.

Despite the "corrigations" on the newest models, the BV material is too slick to allow good strap adhesion...espcially if one is using a good flexible internal loader. Until I get the light weight pack from REI modified, I will use my larger internal frame and put the BV inside. My wife suggested using velcro, but my experience is that anything that attaches to plastic with adhesive (the opposite side of the velcro) will immediatly gather dirt, and ultimately react with the plastic and no longer "stick".
