Vintage PING Hoofer Lite - How to Adjust Straps?

[Gregsfolly]

I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps!

I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below.

I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design.

The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket.

Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!

I’m no expert on bags and I looked at this post because I’m considering a Ping Hoofer, but from the pic, I would say you just start at the top, un-thread the strap through the keeper buckle, and once it’s out of that, pull that tab on the buckle next to the shoulder pad out towards you and down, and the slack will pull through. Do that until it’s long enough and then re-thread the loose end back through the top buckle (keeper) to secure the strap and maintain the adjustment.  Write back if you have any problems or questions. I’m bag shopping so I’ll probably see this again. Cheers!
