- To find your torso length, grab a soft tape measure and a friend to help out. If you don’t have a soft tape measure, just use a length of rope and then lay it out to measure when you’re done.Start out by tilting your head forward and finding the bony bulge at the base of your neck. That’s your C7 vertebra and the top of your torso length.Next, find the tops of your hipbones and place your hands on your hips with your thumbs pointing towards your spine. Where your thumbs would meet in the middle of your back is the bottom of your torso length.To find your hipbelt size, simply take your tape measure and wrap it around your waist at the top of your hips. That’s your hipbelt measurement and it’s also the center point of where you want your pack to rest on your hips.

Great backpack. Very light. Just the right size for 2-3 day trips.

Best pack I’ve owned, is the perfect size. Super light weight especially if you remove the frame and belt. Love the big stretchy outer pocket also.

Great versatile and comfortable pack.
I hiked for 12 hours with a full pack weight of 8kg and it was just as comfortable at the end of the hike as it was at the beginning.
Love that I can reach my water bottle in the side pocket without taking the pack off.

Perfect very light backpack. I am 5 ‘6 and the medium fits nicely.

We had to wait a little while for this pack, supply chains being what they are at the moment but it was well worth the wait. An amazing product only matched by the super friendly and prompt service of Warren at Pack Gear Go.

I love this pack. I’ve only taken it for it’s first outing – a three day tramp – and it was very, very comfortable. I didn’t pack a tent, but the size is perfect without a tent, and will be easy to strap on the outside when I carry one. Nicely balanced pack, with good sized pockets. The mesh pocket on the back is excellent for jandals, map, soggy clothes and the side pockets easily carry a drink bottle. Hip pockets great for snacks. The only thing I couldn’t really work out was how to attach a hydration pack (but I rarely use one, so didn’t give it much thought). Plus, it was dry my whole trip (weird I know) so haven’t tested waterproofing yet. Oh, and I got tangled under tree fall a few times, and any snags with branches didn’t damage the pack at all. Cool yellow colour too – I’m so happy with this pack, I’ll be using it for many more missions.

Love this pack! Lightweight and durable. The large stretchy front pocket and roomy side pockets are great for keeping the essentials accessible and there are plenty of attachment points for extra bits and pieces.
