How do I properly use the cinch-straps that came with my daypack?
I just purchased a daypack to stuff inside my larger backpack while travelling. It came with cinch-straps but I'm not sure of the proper way to use them (if there is one). The daypack is a North Face Verto 26
Clearly, they go through the loops on the pack, but I'm not sure how to anchor them (the cinch-straps themselves are closed loops).

I have a small summit pack that has loops on each side of the backpack, which your's seems to have as well. My pack advertised those for "securing overloads," meaning you can drape stuff that doesn't fit inside (like a rope), over the pack before you close the lid and secure it with the straps to each side of the pack. On each side of the pack I thread a loop, pass the stap over the item I want to secure, thread a loop on that side of the item, and repeat until I run out of loops. Then I do the other side.

As per The North Face Customer Service:
Each strap (not bungee, sorry about that) should have a barrel on one end followed by an overhand knot holding the two ends of the strap. Simply undo the knot, depress the button on the barrel and un-thread one end of the strap. Thread through loops as desired, re-thread through barrel, tie off ends using a 2 strand overhand knot
