load bearing comfort.

AirScape™ Suspension Fit Adjustment

Think of wearing your pack in this way: you’ll adjust

the suspension onto your body and then you’ll

adjust the pack onto the suspension.

A

Loosen

all straps and then put the pack on and snug

down the hipbelt.

B

Pull the lower shoulder strap

adjusters into a comfortable position and then

pull the load lifter straps in making sure that the

harness doesn’t rise off your shoulder.

C

Adjust

the sternum strap up or down to a comfortable

position and then clip in.

Your pack’s weight distribution and feel will

change throughout your trip, therefore no

adjustment is perfect. Adjust your pack as

much as you need, redistributing your load is

key to comfort.
