It is important, especially when there is a
long trek involved, that the backpack is
adjusted for maximum comfort. The
following advice should be considered
when packing.

When fully loaded, all compression straps
should be tightened to secure the load in
the pack. All carrying straps should be set
fully loose and the pack then put on your
back. The hip belt should be fastened and
tightened to rest approximately in the
middle of the hip. Any slack should be
taken out of the shoulder straps, and the
chest strap should be done up. The load
control straps at the shoulders and hips
can now be tightened to achieve the
desired stability.

Packing the UP paraglider rucksack
correctly will make it a pleasure to carry. A
couple of easy tips can help you get it
right. Failing to follow these tips will
adversely affect you carrying comfort.
The centre of gravity of the load should be
as close to the vertical centre axis of the
carrier, while also being situated as high
on the back as possible. This allows for a
vertical posture and minimises the
leverage of the load against the natural
posture of the carrier. It also helps by
reducing the oscillations of the load while
walking.
The drawing shows the ideal load
distribution in the UP rucksack. Loaded
like this the carrying comfort will be
optimal. Start by placing the heaviest
items close to the shoulder blades, with
lighter items over and under this region.
The lightest items should be placed the
furthest from your back.
Do not fasten any objects to the exterior of
the rucksack, as these are unprotected
against theft and can also get caught
on protruding points when entering or
exiting lifts, cars or buses.
