>Waist belts that sit above your belly button are retarded

The weight of a backpack should be as high as possible on your back. Ever heard of a squat in weightlifting where they carry hundreds of pounds on their back?

It's also called a WAIST strap/belt and the waist is located just above the bellybutton.
This hip belt bullshit is just a compensation for an inherently shitty backpack design hanging too low on the back.
