CUSTOM FIT-ON-THE-FLY SHOULDER STRAP
ADJUSTING YOUR PACK
A customizable strap extension allows for the perfect shoulder wrap.
To adjust the shoulder strap:
Completely loosen the pack harness’ load lifter and shoulder strap webbing.
1 Start with one shoulder strap and separate the shoulder strap sleeve from the padded shoulder
strap by disengaging the hook and loop closure.
2 Slide the padded strap in/out of the shoulder strap sleeve to desired length.
3 Use the white markings as a guideline and press firmly to re-engage the hook-and-loop closure.
NOTE: The rough “hook” of the pack’s shoulder strap sleeve should always be engaged to the soft “loop”
of the padded shoulder strap. If disengaged, it may rub and cause abrasion to clothing.
4 Repeat these steps on the other side. Extend the pads the same distance on both shoulder straps so pack
weight is distributed evenly.
NOTE: The webbing keeper, located by the ladder lock at the end of the padded hipbelt wings and shoulder strap, aligns the webbing
before it goes into the ladder lock. The webbing coming out of the ladder lock should not be threaded through these keepers as it will
create an incorrect angle, inhibiting the straps from tightening when pulled while putting on and fitting the pack.
