CUSTOM FITTING YOUR PACK

SUSPENSION FEATURES

1. SUSPENSION FEATURES

The Tioga, Trekker, Yukon and Jr. Tioga suspensions

features:

THE H-FRAME is the classic workhorse frame. This frame moves

the waistbelt down, preventing towering loads and providing

greater load transfer to the hips than other frames. The H-Frame

tends to fit people with wider torsos.

Adjustable BACK

PANEL slides up

and down to

adjust for different

torso sizes.

BELT STABILIZER STRAPS

on waistbelt help to

transfer and control load.

Adjustable height

FRAME customizes

your pack.

2. FITTING YOUR PACK

Follow these steps IN SEQUENCE to achieve the best fit

every time you use your pack. Refer to the figure

above to identify pack parts.

Before starting, loosen all load-lifter and belt stabilizer straps.

position

A. FIRST weight the pack with at least 25 lb.

(35 lb. is ideal).

B. NEXT put the pack on and tighten the waistbelt.

Make sure you place the waistbelt in the proper

location (Figures 2A & 2B).

It is recommended to wear the belt on hip bones, just under the

rib cage. If you still prefer to wear the belt low, add one to two

inches to your torso length measurement. Figure 2A shows both

the preferred placement of the waistbelt and an example of a

belt worn low. The low position is not recommended. Once

positioned correctly, tighten the belt to prevent it from sliding.

(A good rule of thumb is to have the belt buckle approximately

over your belly button.)

Benefits of wearing the belt high on the waist:

• Proper loading of the skeletal frame, further supported by

the two strongest muscle groups in the body: the

quadriceps & gluteals.

• Blood flow & nerves route across the front of the hips;

wearing the belt too low can restrict blood flow causing

muscle fatigue, nerve pinching and possible numbness.

3-5”

C. Once the waistbelt is in the correct position,

tighten the shoulder straps. To tighten shoulder straps

pull the webbing at the lower ends of the shoulder strap down

& back. The top of the load lifter strap should be 3-4” inches

above the top of your shoulder(Figure 2C). (Put a little more

load on your shoulders than you want to end up with.) During

this operation the load-lifter straps should be kept loose.

Figure 2C

With the waistbelt positioned correctly and the shoulder straps as

shown below, you have achieved a perfect fit.

If you do not have the correct

shoulder strap position, you will

need to adjust the torso length as

directed in the following section.

CUSTOM FITTING YOUR PACK

6 7

a. Reach behind the mesh

panel from the bottom

and generously loosen

the black vertical strap

behind the backpanel

(Figure 2G).

b. Find the chrome buttons

and the clevis pins on

the frame under the

backpanel. Remove the

clevis pins on either side

of the frame.

c. Push in the two chrome

buttons (Figure 2H) while

sliding the frame up or

down (Figure 2I).

d. Replace the clevis pins in

holes just underneath

chrome buttons and

tighten the vertical strap.

Figure 2G

Figure 2I

Figure 2H

If the shoulder straps are

pinching your neck or

shoulders or feel too wide,

you need to adjust the

clevis pins that attach to

straps to the frame.

I. Remove split ring from

clevis pin (Figure 2D).

II. Slide clevis pin out

of frame (Figure 2E).

III. Insert clevis pin into

desired hole (Figure 2F)

and replace split ring.

IV. Repeat steps I-III for

opposite side.

TORSO LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

D. Snug the load-lifter straps (Figure

2J), if applicable. This lifts the shoulder

straps (and the pack’s weight) off the top

of your shoulders. Don’t allow the load-

lifters to pull the shoulder straps more than

1/2" off your shoulder, or it will cause

pressure points.

E. OPTIONAL-

Position the sternum strap (Figure

2K) on your chest, and pull it

snug. The sternum strap should cross

your chest high, just below your clavicle,

so it doesn’t interfere with your breath-

ing. Some people find it more comfort-

able not to use the sternum strap when

breathing hard—especially at altitude.

F. OPTIONAL-

Pull the belt stabilizers just snug

(Figure 2L), if applicable. If overtight-

ening them feels good, you might need

to bend more curve into the frame in the

lumbar region. Overtightening causes

gaps between you and the belt. Belt

stabilizers are best left loose for the first

15-30 minutes of hiking.)

Figure 2J

Figure 2K

A. Remove split ring and clevis pin on

the frame just above the mesh

backpanel (Figure 3A).

B. Slide foot of hold-open bar,

located inside the packbag,

through the button hole in the back

of the packbag (Figure 3B).

C. Thread the clevis pins back into

position, make sure to go through

the packbag, the foot of the hold-

open bar and the frame (Figure

3C), then replace the split ring.

D. Repeat steps A-C on opposite side

of the pack.

3. HOLD-OPEN BAR

Each external frame pack comes with a hold-open

bar. Follow the steps to install it.

Figure 3B

Figure 3A

Figure 3C

• When balance is crucial for off-trail travel, climbing or skiing, pack

heavy items centered and close to the back.

• The sleeping bag should always go in or on the bottom of the pack.

• Pack clothing and other light gear around heavy items (ie. a stove or

climbing gear) in order to keep them from shifting.

• Items you will need during the day should be packed in the top of the

main compartment, the top pocket, or side pockets.

• Foam pads and odd-sized equipment (such as long tent poles) can be

carried on the outside of the pack. Use the appropriate accessory

patches, ice axe loop, or ski slots for these items.

• Do not put heavy items like water bottles or climbing equipment in

pockets located far from your back.
