Shoulder Sizing Chart
The "shoulder sizing" pertains to the size of the shoulder straps and their attachment points.
To determine shoulder girth, stand with your arms by your sides, and have someone measure all the way around your chest, arms and back at a distance of two inches below the top of your shoulders. To avoid false readings when taking the measurement, avoid inhaling deeply and expanding the arms.
|
| Size | Shoulder girth |
| XS | less than 34" |
| S | 34" - 38" |
| M | 39" - 41" |
| L | 42" - 44" |
| XL | 45" - 49" |
| 2XL | 50" - 54" |
| 3XL | More than 54"

Hip Belt
A hip-belt is unnecessary with a light to moderate load. And of course we do not normally recommend hiking with a heavy load.
But for those that want a Hip Belt we sell a Hip Belt kit. This is padded but very light-weight. It has a side-release buckle, and you can adjust the webbing in the usual style.
On our Order Form, in the backpack section, we have asked for your hip measurement. Our computer programming customizes your hip belt to fit you.

Hip Belt Size
To take your hip measurement, wrap a tape measure around your body, just above the widest part of your hips. In other words, where you tend to wear your hip belt. If you don’t have a tape measure, use a string, then measure the distance on the string.

Sternum Strap
All of our Backpack Kits come with an optional Sternum Strap. Once you have completed your pack, you can try the sternum strap if you'd like. The sternum strap is easy to remove if you find you do not need it.

Included with the kit are all the materials needed, and detailed, step-by-step instructions with many illustrations.
