1 POSITION THE PACK
This pack anchors to the rib cage to prevent unwanted bouncing. To do
this, it needs to sit higher on your torso than a typical hiking pack. When
first putting on your pack, make sure the top of the pack sits just below
the base of your neck.
2 POSITION DUAL CHEST STRAPS
Buckle both sternum straps, leaving the webbing a little loose for now.
The top chest strap should be positioned 1-2”/2.5-5 cm below the
collarbone. The bottom chest strap can be moved up toward the middle
of the harness to accommodate free and easy breathing; however, keep it
down low if pack stability is your primary concern. For women, adjust the
chest strap position so that it fits comfortably and keeps the pack snug.
3 TIGHTEN CHEST STRAPS
Before tightening the chest straps, make sure you have completely
loosened the under-arm side body straps on each side of the pack. With
the chest strap positioned appropriately, pinch the end of the webbing
with your thumb and index finger and pull the strap until the tension
pulls the strap from your grasp. This helps avoid overtightening the
pack. Make small adjustments as necessary to ensure a secure fit.

TIGHTEN SIDE BODY STRAPS
Pull the side body straps that connect the harness and pack under each
arm. This will pull in the lower portion of the pack against the body and
snug the pack around your rib cage. Double-check the chest harness
strap positioning and tension to ensure optimal fit, comfort and stability.
5
TIGHTEN SHOULDER HARNESS STRAPS & HIPBELT (DURO 15)
Cinch the harness to hipbelt strap after fitting the chest straps. Then,
buckle and tighten the hipbelt buckle. It is not as important to place
directly over the iliac crest (hipbone) as the weight is being supported by
the shoulder harness.
