So I was going through the garage, checking equipment, and I grabbed my old trail pack. It's a Kelty pack I used back in 2005 on an Appalachian Trail trip. I've used it a couple times since, but mostly I've used my smaller packs, and this one has been up on a shelf in the garage for a while.
The straps on it seem to be stiff, from lack of use obviously, not torn or frayed in any way, just stiff and hard to work through the buckles and such when trying to put it on and fit it.
Any ideas on how to recondition them? Replacing them is out of the question, as I can buy a newer model cheaper these days. It's a good pack, and I like it, so I want to make it useful again.
I may end up buying a 3 day assault pack or an Alice pack of some sort if I can't use this one anymore. But it's black and gray, so it's not too flashy or "look at me, I'm bugging out" in nature.
