HARNESS FIT
4 TIGHTEN LOAD LIFTERS
Tightening the load lifters will pull the pack close to the body and help stabilize the load.
5 ADJUST HARNESS
The harness straps should wrap fully around the shoulders with no gaps between the
pack and back.
The padded part of the harness straps should end 1-2" / 2.5-5 cm below the armpit.
And the harness should have 1-2" / 2.5-5 cm of webbing remaining.
1 POSITION THE PACK
Completely loosen the pack’s hipbelt, harness and load-lifter straps.
Load the pack with 10-20 lbs./ 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.
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 TIGHTEN HARNESS
Tighten the shoulder harness straps to tension by pulling them down and back.

6 STERNUM STRAP
Adjust the sternum strap to approximately 2"/5 cm below the collarbone; buckle and tighten

ADJUSTABLE HARNESS (TORSO LENGTH)
1. Identify the two strap buckles, located behind where the padded hipbelt wings meets
the pack.
2. Tighten the torso adjustment straps that pass through these buckles to shorten the
torso length of the harness or loosen the straps to extend the torso length.
3. Adjust so that the hipbelt is centered and rests over the hipbone while the harness yoke,
where the harness straps come together near the base of the user’s neck, is 1-2” / 2.5-5
cm below the C7 vertebra—the large protruding bone at the base of the neck.
