Little bit of info: the side stretch pockets kick ass but they have a small hole at the bottom to drain water, dirt, pine needles ect. It's a well thought out feature but you could lose small items like tent stakes or poles if you threw em in there loose. Just a heads up for anybody considering...
That's a negative. I'm thinking the 3300 simply doesn't have it mostly due to the bag design. The lid straps are short and don't need to be longer to accommodate an extended snow collar like the other bags have.
I'm not stressed out about it, just wanted to get it set up correctly right out of the gate. SG stuff isn't always really intuitive until you've used it a fair amount.
