Got my new pack in the mail on Wednesday, and it's pretty great. I'm concerned about the torso fit, though. I have a high iliac crest, and my torso is about 17 1/2 inches. With the harness lowered as far as it will go, things still don't feel right. The back of the harness is still touching my neck.

However, with the hipbelt adjusted upwards, the frame sticks right into my rear end. I haven't loaded up the pack with much weight (no more than 15 pounds or so), so I'm wondering if that will affect the fit. I know that's a silly question, but it's been a busy week and I haven't had time to load up my pack with weights or much gear. Will more weight drive the frame even closer into my butt or further away?

Should I try wearing the hipbelt lower, just below my hip bones? Any other options I ought to explore?

If you could put the pack on and snap a side profile photo and send it to us we can work through it and see what is needed. In regards to hitting the butt, usually when load lifters are engaged that pulls the bottom of the frame out away from the body slightly to be a non issue.

Send us a photo as a starting point.

Thanks
