No I never drop the pack. The rods are wearing through the sleeve from friction.Do you drop it down on the ground hard on the bottom by chance? Forcing the stays straight up?
I dont have an SG. Just clicked cuz I'm considering one. But does that buckle to the right if the wear mark normally sit on top of the wear mark? If so, maybe flip the buckle over to look at it. Sometimes the end of that buckle can have little teeth in them. Is that wearing on the pack?
Have you reached out to SG? Id be interested to know their thoughts
Must have over looked it.Did you happen to read the post directly above yours??
