I like the concept on how the belt can be removed. I saw a similar design from a Malaysian maker but yours have wider foam with better hug on the hips. However, I used duraflex spider clips to attach the belt differently to my backpack so that I have the hip belt foam extended between my lower back and the packpack. It would be better if I send a pix. So, may be the foam can extend further is my proposal. Also, you are using one sided duraflex clip, maybe a double sided duraflex clip will allow the user to adjust the hipbelt attachment to the backpack. Just my idea. Note though that I haven't tried the hipbelt with a loaded back pack.
Took The Ranger on a 3 day trip in NorCal and it worked great! I bought the hip belt but ended up leaving it behind with my base weight being 16lbs. Loaded up with around 20lbs of gear and food/water I did around 26 miles total, was waaaay more comfortable than my framed packs with the same load. It performed great in the rain on day 2 and 3 and I would highly recommend this pack!
I haven't tried the removable hip belt yet, but they seem to be of good quality.
Love the easy attachment method. Gets the job done.
