also I have broad shoulders and a large chest. The shoulder straps are not big enough. I have them set as open as they will go just so I can put the bag on. When I do get the bag on the sternum strap is literally in my throat.... It is sewn into place on the strap so I can't move it down. I may have to sell the bag and get something else. Or I may cut off the sternum strap. I don't know what to do.
The downside for me is similar to a previous poster; the sternum strap is pretty high. I have had this problem on other backpack bags but they were removable, while this one isn't. I plan on giving the bag a couple rounds but I'm not optimistic.
I dont ever wear the sternum straps
Agreed lol, it's an option but I can't think of one time I've said man I wish I had sternum straps right now
People can also email Chris like he has continued to state but people like to continue to state the same issue over and over again with out reading. I can see how an owner might start to get annoyed when he anwsers a question then 3 hours later someone asks the same question because they can't bother to read. Everyone expects an owner to bend over backwards and the consumer does not want to bother taking 2 minutes out of his day by reading first. I lol at the fact that people still are to lazy to read these days.
I have to agree with you, mostly. If I were Chris and saw one more person feel the need to comment on the mini pocket or the sternum straps on the forum, I might snap. The forums are not direct lines to a manufacturer. They are not a customer service questionaire. Contact the company, wait for a personal response to your issue, and then act accordingly.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, here. And each person has every right to complain on a public forum. But complaining with the expectation of resolution on a public forum is a bit much. We might as well go start another Prodigy thread if we're just going to keep rehashing the same info over and over again on here.
Yes but it gets slightly irritating when the same problem is addressed 20 different times. That is why i put that link up, people just need to actually watch the video before posting anything about the mini pocket or the straps or the hard bottom of the frameI think Kilgus has done a damn good job of addressing customer concerns (Kilgus: get off here and go get married! (and congrats)). I agree with you, Throw, in the respect that specific concerns directed AT Kilgus should be done so in a better manner, such as a phone call or email. I think that general comments/concerns on the bag, which so far seem to be limited to the mini pocket and sternum strap, are fair game as this is a public forum, in the equipment section, where people share their thoughts on the bag. And, looking at many of the comments, I don't think they are trying to obtain a resolution from Kilgus on the sternum strap or mini pocket, but are just voicing their concerns/opinions/review of features on the bag, which is why this thread is here.

Constructive criticism should be allowed and has all right to be supported numerous times. This is the way points are made in a public forum.
It should not be rude or disrespectful from the consumer or manufacturer
Just got MJ Sig Contender bag today. I love it. The only issue for me is the mini pocket at the front of putter pocket, but I will use it and see how it goes in actual use. It is well made and I'll look forward using it on the course. I like the zipper pull, where do I get those? so I can add some more to other zippers. I am 5' 10" 155 lbs and the sternum strap fits me just fine.
And then we can all sing Kumbaya around the campfire while holding hands. It's a nice thought, but that's not exactly how public forums work, lol. It's much more likely that campfire is going to be used to fire up torches and start a lynch mob. That's just the reality of the group landscape here, no matter how much individual logic might work.
Ive read most of this, but here is my question. If the producer cut the mini pocket smaller/lowered it/ whatever you want to call it, why would you accept the finished product rather than making them fix their mistake.
If I took my car to get new tires, and they put on ones i didnt want...I would make them correct the mistake before leaving
