HARNESS FIT

The harness straps should wrap fully around your shoulders with no gaps between the pack and your back. The padded part of the harness straps should end 1"/2.5cm- 2"/5cm below the armpits and the sternum strap adjusted to approximately 2"/5cm below the collarbone.

WOMEN'S SPECIFIC FIT

• The pack shape is narrower and deeper allowing greater freedom of movement and increases stabilization by lowering the position of the load to a woman's center of gravity.
• The shoulder harness is designed with different curves to create an anatomical fit for a woman's neck, shoulders and chest.
• Women's hips are conically shaped with a larger difference between the waist and hip measurements. The hipbelts are shaped and angled to accommodate this difference which allows a more comfortable load transfer and support.

COMPRESSION STRAPS

13L/9L/3L

Side compression straps stabilize loads while lower, cross functional compression straps also serve as external gear carry straps. To adjust, slide the nylon strap through the slider buckle and cinch it to compress/carry.

BLINKER LIGHT ATTACHMENT

13L/9L/3L

The blinker light attachment strap found near the base of the front panel of the pack allows for quick light attachment for high visibility in the dark.

A Secure blinker light clip through reflective blinker light attachment loop
B Blinker light attachment loop is reflective, providing some visibility even without a blinker light.

LIDLOCK™ HELMET ATTACHMENT

An elasticized LidLock™ helmet attachment system provides storage for your helmet.

A Locate the LidLock™ helmet attachment clip near the top of the pack's front panel and pull away from the pack.
B In the vertical position, pass LidLock™ through helmet vent from the bottom and engage in horizontal position.
C On the right outside panel of the pack find a cord loop to increase or decrease tension.
