HARNESS SIZING
A Completely loosen the pack's hipbelt straps, harness straps and load lifters.
B Load the pack with 10-20lbs/4-9kg of gear.
C Put on the pack ensuring the hipbelt is centered and resting over the user's
hipbones. The hipbelt padding should sit half above and half below the hipbone.
Buckle the hipbelt and tighten the hipbelt straps.
D Tighten the shoulder harness straps by pulling them down and back. Adjust and
buckle the sternum strap 2"/5cm below the collar bone. Tighten the load lifts to
transfer the weight off of the shoulders.
E Find the harness yoke or where the harness straps come together near the user's
neck. The yoke should be 2"/5cm below the C7 vertebra. The C7 vertebra can be
located by tilting the head down and finding the bone that protrudes at the base
of the neck.
F Make note of how far the yoke is from the C7 vertebra. Based on this
measurement, the torso can be adjusted to the desired 2"/5cm.
SIZING / FIT
WOMEN'S SPECIFIC FIT
+ The unique suspended mesh located on the shoulders, backpanel, lumbar and
hipbelt contour to a wide variety of body shapes and sizes to create a custom fit
to your body.
+ The pack shape is narrower and deeper allowing greater freedom of movement
and increasing stabilization by lowering the position of the load to a woman's
center of gravity.
+ The shoulder harness is designed with different curves to create an anatomical
fit for a woman's neck, shoulders and chest.
+ Women's hips are conically shaped with a larger difference between the waist
and hip measurements. The hipbelts are shaped and angled to accommodate
this difference which allows a more comfortable load transfer and support.
