ADJUSTING YOUR PACK

TORSO LENGTH - ADJUSTING THE HARNESS

CUSTOM FIT-ON-THE-FLY HIPBELT 

 Completely loosen the pack's load lifters and harness straps.

 To lengthen the torso length:

1  

 While releasing the ladder locks, located on either side of the backpanel directly above the lumbar, slide 
the harness up along the LightWire frame to the appropriate torso length. 

2  

It is easiest to do this one side at a time, sliding the harness with one ladder lock and then the other. 

3   Use the white markings on the edge of the backpanel as a guideline to align each side of the harness. 

When the pack is not in use, the harness will easily slide up and down the LightWire

 

frame. However, when 

the pack is on-body, the ladder locks will engage the harness’ webbing and the harness will adjust to the 

desired height.

To shorten the torso length:

1   Slide the harness down along the LightWire frame to the appropriate torso length. 
2   Use the white markings on the edge of the backpanel as a guideline to align each side of the harness. 
3   Tighten the webbing at the ladder locks, located on either side of the backpanel directly above the 

lumbar, to tension. 

The customizable hipbelt pad extends up to 6 in./15 cm. directly from the lumbar to accommodate different hip 
shapes and sizes and provide a fine-tuned fit. 

To adjust the hipbelt:

 Completely loosen the pack’s hipbelt webbing.

1   Separate one of the pack’s hipbelt wings from the padded hipbelt by disengaging the hook-and-loop closure. 

2   With one hand, hold the pack’s hipbelt wing. With the other hand, guide the padded hipbelt in/out from behind 

the padded lumbar to the desired position.

3   Press firmly to re-engage the hook-and-loop closure. While slight angle/height adjustments can be made 

when engaging the hipbelt wing, the white markings on the padded hipbelt should be used as  the guideline.

  

NOTE: The rough “hook” of the pack’s hipbelt wing should always be engaged to the soft “loop” of the padded 
hipbelt. 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 hipbelt wings so pack 

weight is distributed evenly.
