The crossbow system on this pack is one of the neatest and most useful additions to the Contour series. I was originally skeptical as to the usefulness of the Crossbow system, but as I've moved around with it, the delrin rod within the pack really does stabilize the load without restricting your movement. The framesheet and stay are cut in a way that allows more movement and allows the rod to do its work.

You do need to do some ingenious packing with this system. If you overload the top lid pockets, the weight within tends to drop the lid down, making it hard to zipper the main area.
