Backpack without straps danging from the bottom?
 
[Title should say dangling, not danging.]

Can anybody recommend a backpack that does not have straps dangling off the bottom like so:

I found one bag specifically advertised to have a "strap management system" -

- but this particular bag is $100 and not all that durable, according to some reviews. Any other options?

Just do what we used to do in the Army (and I still do now)---roll up the excess strap and tie it off with a rubber band. I also use a black strap over top of that to hide the rubber band and make it all blend in

Agree with previous poster, just roll it up if you like the bag otherwise.

in any case, my backpack, the Everki Versa Premium, does not have dangling straps.

It seems foolish to me to limit one's choices based on a problem that can be fixed with an elastic or a pair of scissors and a lighter.

Riut-Bag has a builtin "roll up" system for that.

i cut mine (measure once, cut twice and no going back...), then use a lighter to clean up the ends. i do this for my kids backpacks as well, since those always hang and drag. having said that, i haven't done that on my tumi backpacks... but for pretty much everything else, i did.

Use a pair of those colored (black, blue, red, etc.) velcro (narrow & short, 6" to 8") straps - typically used for electronic cables or as wire ties to keep the end strap in place (add a pc. to the strap itself if you don't want it to move around or slide/slip out of its place) I use those reflective 3M ones for visibility, small & subtle and works.

straps go into the shoulder pads and out on top back down, so they are not danging. The whole backpack swing forward too. Not cheap though....

SCOTTeVEST has got enough pockets to almost qualify depending on what you're carrying. I've carried a MacBook Pro in one of the internal pockets.
