Help with backpack modifications!
Post Body

I'm looking to go backpacking and hostel jumping for a while, and use the Osprey Exos that I have for it. I'm thinking about making a couple modifications to make it more aligned with a travel-focused bag, and I'd like input on the best ways to and any expected complications!

For the biggest change, I'm considering adding a #8 zipper along the blue line, either on one or both sides, to make a suitcase style opening possible. Any thoughts on how to do it easiest?

Other mods I'm thinking of is a side handle, a side pocket above the water bottle mesh pockets, and possibly hip belt pockets. And likely making them separate/removable just to be easier to attach.

Is love to hear any thoughts on the above! What other modifications would you all add for mixed use hiking and travel features?
