Thanks for the review Brent
Yes.....it is a simple, lightweight devise......but this is by design
After 2 years of making tweeks I think we hit it just about right.
The button is just big enough to to do it's job but small enough to stay out of the way.
The undercut allows more than enough bite to work with even thick, wide slings.
A misconception is that the washer will hurt you during use.
To clear this up....the rear washer sinks into the padding of the pack straps so deeply it is never noticed even with a heavy load.
