> The overall design was great but one of the key element is the shoulder straps that were tied at the front of the bag, not back-side. This was what made it theft-proof and extremely comfortable as it would push it towards your back, and more so with added weight, because physics. Could you elaborate on this? I don't see anything special from photos. And also why don't you buy a second hand one?
