A few days ago I bought a Jansport Odyssey at REI. On the way home from my first day of school today, the seam that held my left should strap to the drawstring (and rest of backpack) popped. The right strap was fine. I performed an emergency repair with duct tape. It came loose again, and I realized that I was holding the weight on my shoulders. After making a second repair, using the buckle, and adjusting my posture, the weight was shifted to my hips. Could the way I wore the pack have caused this? Should I repair this (and how should I?) or just take it back to REI? I know they have a very good return policy.
