my secondary reason was to see how small it could be packed down for travel.
Just out of personal curiosity how much smaller did you get?

are you referring to the weight systems?increased the amount of webbing on the attachments, so they could reach the other side of the wing and lock down
I don't know how strong the stitching is, but since the shoulder straps are worn at slight angle, I can see how the inboard part of the stitch is carrying much of the load and may rip in the future.
IMHO, I think the placement of the shoulder strap mounts would be better have they spaced out a bit more for even loading.
If it makes you feel better I have not seen any of those shoulder triglides break yet. Its really only a problem if you're walking around out of the water with tanks attached, once you're in the water the weight is gone. So provided you're not using it like a backpack walking long distances with twin tanks on you'll be ok.
I'll pass the feedback along.
