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.
