Review on Enhanced Side-Sleeping Backpack: WoodyKnows 2021 Upgraded with All Magic Tape Straps and Enhanced Zipper (Large) by Michael Hall

**Updated 10/1/2020.** The seller contacted me and said based on feedback, they are changing their strap design from the current buckle style to Velcro and it will be available in about a month. This would probably fix the issue I had with it. I would definitely wait until the new style comes out before purchasing it. The seller also described a work-around where you insert the shoulder straps back to the buckle again to prevent it from loosening (see attached image). Unfortunately I had already returned it and was not able to try it out. These only come in two sizes - small and large. I ordered a large because my back is a little over 15" wide and the description says to order a large for back widths over 14". It seemed too large but the main problem I found was that the shoulder straps would not stay adjusted. The slightest pressure caused the straps to loosen as I moved during the night and I would wake up to find myself on my back with the back pack next to me. At first I thought I had taken it off in my sleep but then I noticed that the straps were loosening themselves as I moved until the straps fell off my shoulders allowing me to roll onto my back. Before I ordered this, I tested the concept by using an old school back pack stuffed with a pillow and it reduced my snoring significantly. I ordered this because I liked the idea of being able to take it with me during travel. Even though a smaller size, like a medium, would have been better, I think it may have worked if the straps would have stayed tightened during the night. I saw other reviews talking about the straps being too short or the back pack too small, etc. but that was not my experience at all. Maybe this is a new version or it was just defective. Anyway, I returned it and am now using my old school back pack and I saved $60.
