 torso
length : sizing
and custom fitting options
What torso length should I get? To find
your torso length, measure the distance between your seventh cervical
vertebra and the shelf of your hipbones. Do this by standing up
straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Tilt your head forward
and place your hands on your hips, thumbs to the back. With a flexible
tape, have someone measure from the most prominent vertebra at the base
of your neck to an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This will
be your torso length.
Cirrus, Stratus & Nimbus
Short Torso 14” to 18”
Regular Torso 18” to 22”
NOTE: Each framesheet has fine adjustment settings spaced in one inch
increments to further fine-tune your fit. If you are an 18”
torso try the short torso first.
All Other Packs including Vapor Suspension Packs
Short Torso 15” to 18”

Features and Compatibility
Ultralight Pack Belt - Standard
equipment on all of our Ultralight Packs (except Virga) and all packs
with the Vapor Suspension. This belt is a “soft”
belt. It has no plastic exoskeleton like our other belts. It is lighter
and more comfortable when carrying smaller loads of 40 pounds or less.
Although it is our simplest interchangeable belt, it still boasts the
Pivot Point connection (except on Vapor Suspension Packs), hip
stabilizers, dual density foam and Schoeller Dynamic fabric. ( Not
Available in XL Size)
Light Pack Belt - All
the features of the Ultralight Belt plus a plastic exoskeleton that
adds load bearing support. The high density plastic forms a wishbone
shape that cups around your hip bone. The belt webbing is joined into
the exoskeleton for an effective “wrap” around your
hips. When fit properly this exoskeleton helps to keep the belt
positioned right where it needs to be to transfer the weight to your
hips. This belt is standard equipment on all the Light Packs.
Standard/Expedition Belt -
Compatible with all Standard Packs and Expedition Pack models. It is
designed to support serious loads in amazing comfort. In addition to
all the features of the Light Pack Belt, the Standard/Expedition Belt
is wider and sports our exclusive Cruise Control strap (pg. 14). The
Cruise Control is a hip belt stabilizer strap that works dynamically to
pull the load into your hips while still allowing the belt to pivot on
the Pivot Point hardware. You can adjust how much you want the belt to
pivot by loosening the black hip stabilizer strap and adjusting the
silver cruise control. Lots of pivot works well off trail or on steep
climbs and descents. Less pivot for the flats. Of course you can lock
your belt to eliminate any pivoting action by simply tightening the
black hip stabilizer strap. Now that’s Cruise Control!

shoulder
straps : sizing
and custom fitting options
For a truly custom fit on our Cirrus, Stratus and Nimbus packs you can
swap out shoulder straps. To find the ideal shoulder strap size,
measure your chest. Shoulder straps come in two widths also. The trim
fit shoulder strap is standard on most packs except the Expedition
packs which sport a wide fit shoulder strap that can comfortably carry
loads over 60 lbs. Our shoulder straps fit both men and women well. New
this year: All short torso packs and women’s packs will come
standard with a narrower pivot point attachment bar that fits medium to
narrow shoulders better.
