How to fit the backpack correctly?

Even the best backpack will seem uncomfortable if you do not take care of the correct adjustment of its straps. The first impression of the model is not the main thing. For example, models with an orthopedic back and rigid shoulder straps are more likely to fit loosely when fitted without load. They will give an optimal fit only after things are inside.

To carry out the adjustment in accordance with all the rules, following simple recommendations will help.

  1. Loosening of all adjustments. This is a necessary measure before making an individual adjustment, otherwise it will simply not be possible to achieve an optimal fit.
  2. First fitting... You need to put on a backpack with loose shoulder straps. Then, if there is a hip attachment, it is fastened, tightened. This is done in a pose with a slight forward tilt of the body. If the strap is above or below the thigh bone, you must first remove the backpack, adjust the length of the straps for your height, and then repeat all the steps.
  3. Shoulder fit. The straps should be tightened, but without excessive force, so as not to transfer the load from the belt to the spine. It is important that the fit is comfortable. In the correct position, the attachment point of the shoulder straps is between the shoulder blades, and they themselves smoothly bend around the surface of the clavicle.
  4. Back fit... It is necessary to loosen the clips of the pillow, and then correctly tighten it in height. So that the back is comfortable.
  5. Fit with load... The assembled backpack is tried on again. Depending on its weight, a hip belt and shoulder straps will need to be tightened so that the fit is tight enough and the load is concentrated as close to the center of gravity as possible. For everyday use, a weakened version is suitable; for a hike in areas with difficult terrain, it is better to strengthen the fixation, making it more dense.

Some hiking backpacks have a chest strap. Experienced tourists recommend fixing it in order to avoid lateral displacement of the load during active movement. The same element will solve the problem of constant slipping of the straps of the backpack from the shoulders.
