Stupid question alert: I just purchased a Mystery Ranch Bighorn and received it yesterday. I am not familiar with this pack at all and have just looked it over very briefly. However, in doing so, I have a question of just what the intended purpose of the outside flap that buckles over the lower portion of the pack on the outside?
I initially figured it was just for containing a jacket or anything else that you wanted to strap to the outside of the pack, but it has stiffeners inserted into it and I was just wondering if I was missing some other intended use? Seems like extra weight if the stiffeners aren't needed. Wouldn't be the first time that something obvious alluded me...
Thanks for any help here.
