Serious question to all who love the classic Mountainsmith lumbar pack. Is there a secret to them? Because I clearly don't get it. I bought one awhile back due to its ubiquity and could never make it work for me. Every time it's loaded up it just works down my backside, taking my pants with it. The dearth of straps just make it feel bulky and like it's going to catch on something. I finally bought the 'X-straps' to turn it into something remotely useful, but those essentially turn it into a backpack.
