I traveled today with my Aeronaut 30 for the first time! This was also my first time managing to one-bag it. I did enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about keeping track of multiple bags... but my collarbone got really sore, because the A30 backpack straps kept pressing on it. That didn't happen with my A45 when I traveled with it last month, even though the A45 was packed much heavier than the A30's 17 pounds. I played with the A30's straps a little, not extensively, but didn't find a setting that got it off my collarbone. Does anyone have advice for that? I was using the sternum strap most of the time.
(Come to think of it, I was using a padded hip belt on the A45 and no belt at all on the A30. I'm sure that helped.)
While I'm on the subject of bag comfort, I've been using a Synapse 19 for school lately, with two folders, a notebook, and an iPad in a keyboard case all in the main compartment. The bottom edge often presses painfully against my lower spine. Any suggestions, other than to put a spare sweater or a towel in the bottom of the bag?
In case it makes a difference to the advice, my A45 is the original version, my A30 is the version before the current new version, and I'm not sure what version my S19 is but it's Navy/Solar, which ought to help indicate the year.
I would be very glad of suggestions that help me adjust these bags to be more comfortable, because I like both bags a lot aside from that issue. Thanks!
