terasu12 You can tuck away the waist straps if you want since there are pockets to do that. You also don't absolutely have to unbuckle the straps to access the main compartment depending on what you're putting in/taking out and how loose you leave the straps. I rarely unbuckle those straps and I mostly use it for school.
Now you can play games of "How much stuff can I possibly cram in this backpack?"
