Fit
Sizing is based on torso length (not height) and hip circumference. Sizing can vary by brand and model, so check a pack's size chart.

Finding torso length and hip circumference

• Locate your C7 vertebra by tilting your head forward and feeling for the bony bump between your shoulder blades.
• Place your hands over your hip bones. Draw an imaginary line connecting your thumbs across your lower back.
• Stand up straight. Have a friend measure from your C7 vertebra to the imaginary line between your thumbs. This is your torso length.
• To find hip size, measure around the top of your hips, using the same imaginary line you found earlier.
