pack fitting

Fitting climbing packs: White light/white heat, New Day Rising, alpine machine 40 & 50 with the alpine belt.


measure your circumference where you want the bottom edge of your pack to sit on your back. may or may not be over your hips. 

 

actual inseam
height
weight
pant size. 
Do you have straight or sloping shoulders?

please send a photo of you wearing your  pack with 15-20 lbs of weight and fully stuffed with sleeping bags, ideally just in a T-shirt,from the side, arms down, stand straight. then, send a photo of the back of your  pack with a tape measure running bottom to top. this is for my reference and can compare it to your body measurements vs pack measurements.




fitting big packs ,anything over 50L.


the same as above plus:

i need you to measure your circumference where you can feel your hip bones stick out towards the front of your pelvis. Then I need a circumference measurement take exactly 4",10 cm, above the hip measurement. 

I use these to custom fit the bigger conical waist belts.
