This hook needs to be moved up and out of the way when using the bag as a backpack; however, it is the one thing they have forgotten to include some doohickie to secure the hook in this position. It is possible to do so, but it is not something they seem to have designed for, which is surprising since they have designed for all other aspects of the bags function.

Overall a very good pannier/back pack.
