Selecting the Right Size Hipbelt for Your ArcLight™ Pack
ArcLight™ packs use our ArcLight™ Hipbelt, which is available in three
sizes: small, medium and large. To determine the correct size hipbelt, you must
measure your hip circumference. Again, a tailor’s tape works best. Remember
that the hipbelt is wrapping around and cupping over your hipbones, so be sure
to measure the circumference of your hips, not your stomach (see diagram on
page 11). Once you have determined your hip circumference, use the chart on
this page to select the correct size belt. When sized properly, the pads should
extend past the front points of your hipbones by an inch or so, but not be so
long that they prevent the belt from being tightened fully.
Selecting the Correct Size Shoulder Pads
All ArcLight™ packs use our Soft Edge Shoulder Pads. These pads are avail-
able in three sizes: small through large. In general, many women use small
pads while taller women (5' 8" and up) may need medium pads. Exceptionally
tall or thick-chested men could use extra-large pads, which are only available
in Burly. When properly sized, the lower end of the pad will be approximately
two inches below your armpit.
The pack size label is found along the side seam next to the mesh backpanel.
