Happy owner of a new Sidekick. I'm planning to use it as an EDC alternative to my Medium Cafe Bag when I don't need as much volume.
The Sidekick shoulder strap comes with two attachment clips (don't know what they're called) that look secure enough to tow a trailer with, or connect a jet pilot to his ejection seat. It takes a lot of finger strength to open and close them. Can't seem to get them in the right position to get any leverage. I have strong hands, so that means I don't know the ideal technique here.
The good news is that it is unbelievably secure. The bad news is that it is unbelievably secure!
Can anyone explain how to open and close these clips/hooks without generating a stream of profanity and broken fingernails? Picture of said ejection seat clip is attached, so everyone will know what I'm asking about, while not knowing the terminology.
By the way, notice, in this limited picture, the usual excellent construction quality of a Tom Bihn bag. It is virtually impossible to find any flaws. The quality control is first rate.
