2 BUCKLE HIPBELT
Buckle and tighten the hipbelt evenly using Osprey’s cross-body
ErgoPull. The padding of the hipbelt should wrap around the hips with
approximately 1-3 in/2.5-6 cm of webbing between the buckle and the
hipbelt when tightened.
3 HIPBELT ADJUSTMENT
If the hipbelt is too large and “tops out” or does not offer the preferred
amount of coverage, the customer may need a different pack size, model
or adjustment.
4 TIGHTEN SHOULDER STRAP
Tighten the shoulder harness
straps by pulling them down and
back.
6 CHECK TORSO LENGTH
Locate the harness yoke – this is where the harness straps come together
near the base of the user’s neck. Locate the C7 vertebra – the large
protruding bone at the base of the neck. The yoke should be 1 in/2.5 cm -
2 in/5 cm below the C7 vertebra.
1 POSITION THE PACK
Completely loosen the pack’s hipbelt, harness and load-lifter straps (if
applicable). Load the pack with 10-20 lb/4-9 kg of gear. Put the pack on
and make sure the hipbelt is centered and rests over the hipbone. The
hipbelt padding should sit halfway above/below the hipbone.
PACK FIT INSTRUCTIONS
SIZING/FIT DISCLAIMER: Pack depicted in images
may not be the pack represented in this owner’s manual.
5 TIGHTEN LOAD LIFTERS (IF
APPLICABLE)
Tightening the load lifters will pull
the pack close to the body and
help stabilize the load. If the torso
length on the pack is adjusted
correctly, the load lifters will sit
between a 30- to 60-degree
angle and align naturally with the
shoulder straps.
7 CHECK HARNESS FIT
The harness straps should wrap fully around the shoulders with no gaps
between the pack and back. The padded part of the shoulder straps
should end at 2 in/5 cm or more below the armpits without topping out.
8 HARNESS/SHOULDER STRAP ADJUSTMENT
If the harness is too small or large, but the torso length of the pack
is correct, the customer may need a different pack size, model or
adjustment.
9 BUCKLE THE STERNUM STRAP
The sternum strap should be adjusted to approximately 2 in/5 cm below
the collarbone.
