      Honestly, I had no trouble at all putting my Altus on and off multiple times a day (Or hour!). After the first couple of days I rarely even stopped, just did it while continuing walking. My pack stayed completely, totally dry the whole 3 weeks...

      I really like my Altus also. Pack stays dry and lots of different ways to wear it for different temperatures.
