FARPOINT / FAIRVIEW TREK SERIES

5 ADJUST HARNESS
+ The harness straps should wrap fully around the shoulders with no gaps
between the pack and back.
+ The padded part of the harness straps should end 1-2" / 2.5-5 cm below
the armpit. And the harness should have 1-2" / 2.5-5 cm of webbing
remaining.
ADJUST TORSO LENGTH
+ Locate the harness yoke—this is where the harness straps come together
near the base of the user’s neck. Locate the C7 vertebra—the large
protruding bone at the base of the neck. The yoke should be 1-2” / 2.5-5
cm below the C7 vertebra.
+ If the torso length is too short or tall, adjust the torso length of the pack.
(Follow instructions in step 6.)
3 TIGHTEN HARNESS
+ Tighten the shoulder harness straps to tension by pulling them
down and back.
4 TIGHTEN LOAD LIFTERS
+ Tighten the load lifters to tension by pulling them up and forward. This will
pull the pack close to the body to help stabilize the load.
1 POSITION THE PACK
+ Completely loosen the pack’s hipbelt, harness and load-lifter straps.
+ Load the pack with 10-20 lbs/4-9 kg of gear.
+ Put the pack on and make sure the hipbelt is centered and rests over the
hipbone. The hipbelt padding should sit halfway above and below the
hipbone.
2 BUCKLE HIPBELT
+ Buckle and evenly tighten the hipbelt using Osprey’s cross body ErgoPull.
+ The padding of the hipbelt should wrap around the hips with approximately
1-3" / 2.5-6 cm of webbing between the buckle and the hipbelt when
tightened.

6 ADJUSTABLE HARNESS (TORSO LENGTH)
M - 65L / 50L W - 65L / 50L
+ Identify the harness plugs located in one of the four sizing loops on the
backpanel.
+ Grab the plug's pull loop with thumb and forefinger and pull the harness's
LightWire extension out and to the sides of the pack. This releases the harness
and allows it to slide up and down.
+ Slide the harness up or down along the LightWire rails to the appropriate torso
length.
+ There are two load-lifter ladder lock options. Correspond the lower two or upper
two backpanel settings to the lower or upper load-lifter ladder lock.
7 STERNUM STRAP
+ Adjust the sternum strap to approximately 2"/5 cm below the collarbone;
buckle and tighten to tension.
