AQS Paducah’24 – Seen at Show

So… in our last post I indicated I was pleased with this design so far, but was still toying with the idea of interior zippered pocket. You might recall that I felt like the pocket I added to our our last sample was located too low within the bag, making it difficult to access plus…the…
