[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2715442, member: 8377"] Yes, a well designed waist belt, correctly used, makes all the difference in the world. That includes fitting the pack correctly. If you run/jog with a pack, the weight will matter less than the bulkiness, and the way you load the pack. My running/jogging pack is a USMC ILBE. I typically load it to about 45 lbs. I believe Arcteryx was involved in the design. My rucking pack is a first gen Kifaru Zulu. The belt is much thinner in the padding department, but the delta strap design makes it a non issue. It is every bit as comfortable as the ILBE. What is especially cool is that even fully loaded to around 50 lbs, i can shrug off the shoulder straps and the pack stays upright and balanced, supported only by the waist belt in conjunction with the delta straps and stays.
