1. MAIN BENEFITS

We seek to design the best-possible solutions for mountain enthusiasts based on our phi-
losophy of creating strong & light products. We understand our users’ needs and provides 
the right features and benefits for them to enjoy their adventures:

STRENGTH & DURABILITY

Our design team carefully analyses the exact functions of each 
part of a backpack to define performance requirements, select an 
optimum combination of materials and engineer the strongest gear 
for the longest use.

VENTILATION

Sweating cools down the body via evaporation. Conventional 
backpacks stop this happening as their back panels prevent the 
ventilation sweat requires to evaporate. The wet back panels mean 
you get chilled. All Salewa backpack back panels are designed to 
ensure good ventilation.

LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

Our sophisticated design solutions use the best materials to minimi-
ze weight. Lightweight fabrics, buckles, straps and accessories also 
help keep weight down.

2. CARRYING SYSTEM

Salewa has three different carrying systems. Depending on size and area of use, its 
backpacks are equipped with an DRY BACK AIR, DRY BACK CONTACT or DRY BACK CUSTOM. 
Our DRY BACK AIR system maximizes ventilation and minimizes the backpack surface in 
contact with the body; the DRY BACK CONTACT system keeps the load barycentre of the 
backpack close to the body for maximum control on ascents and provides good ventila-
tion through its air channels. DRY BACK CUSTOM is highly air permeable, lightweight and 
with a quick and easy height-adjustable back panel system for a customized fit.

3. ADJUSTING YOUR BACKPACK

HOW TO GET THE BEST FIT:

1. Loosen all straps (shoulder straps, load control straps, waist belt, compression straps) 
before you load the pack.

2. If your backpack has a back regulation system, follow the instructions in the table to 
identify your torso length and set the correct back length.

3. Pull in the waist belt so that it sits just above the pelvis. Make sure that your iliac crest 
is centred between the waist belt padding. Close the buckles. Secure the loose ends of the 
straps.

4. Tighten (but don’t overtighten) the shoulder straps until the carrying system meets the 
back. The attachment point of the shoulder straps should be about one inch below the 
seventh vertebra (C7). If necessary, readjust the back length.

5. If your pack has them, tighten the load control straps at the top of the shoulder straps.

6. Close and adjust the length of the chest (sternum) strap, and make sure it sits at the ri-
ght height (at your sternum). A snug fit will help stabilise the pack. Take care not to create 
pressure points.

7. Check the load control straps again and ensure that your shoulder straps fit snugly 
around your shoulders.
