I guess I need to look more closely at the review. The picture I saw
at your link showed a backpack with a conventional opening. Other
makers have dealt with the issue, usually having the main pack slide
around on a belt to the front so you can go into the top while it is
still attached. I don't think any of them are as large as the DaKine
though.
