Measuring the torso

Why is torso length important?

The most important consideration when buying a

backpack is your torso length – the measurement from

the base of your neck to the top of your hip bone. If

we’re getting technical, it’s the distance from the top

of your iliac crest to your C7 vertebra. No matter what

size of load you’re carrying, you want a backpack that

comfortably ﬁts your frame. And your torso length, not

your height, determines which backpack suits you most.

How to measure torso length.

Lean your head forward and locate the most prominent bone at the base of your neck. This is your C7

vertebra and the top of your torso.

Put your hands on your hips so that your index ﬁngers are in line with the top of the hip bone and

pointing towards your belly button, and your thumbs are pointing towards your spine. Draw an

imaginary line between your thumbs and follow the line to where it crosses your spine. This marks the

bottom of your torso. The top of your hip bone is also called your iliac crest. It’s the bone that supports

your backpack’s weight when the hipbelt wraps around your waist. Stand up straight and get a friend

to measure the distance from your C7 to the imaginary line between your thumbs. This is your torso

measurement.

Measuring the Hips

Why is hip size important?

When carrying large loads over long distances,

it’s much less tiring to carry the weight on your

hips than your shoulders. In fact, approximately

80% of a backpack’s load should be supported

by your hips. So it’s really important to ﬁnd a

hipbelt that ﬁts properly.

How to measure your hip size.

Grab your ﬂexible measuring tape and wrap it around the top of your hips, not your waist. This is the

same spot where your thumb and index ﬁngers will rest when measuring your torso length.

Fine tuning your ﬁt

Once you have determined your torso and hipbelt sizing and adjusted your pack, it’s important to

ﬁne tune your ﬁt. To begin, loosen all the straps on the harness and hipbelt and load the pack with

5-10kg/15-20lbs of evenly distributed weight. Then follow the steps below to fully optimize your ﬁt:

1. Hipbelt - Place the backpack on your back and position the top of the hip pad so that it’s about

3cm/1” above your iliac crest (top of your hipbone). Then connect your hipbelt buckle and tighten

the webbing. The bulk of the pack weight should now be supported by the hipbelt.

• Fit tip - The padded section should wrap around and cover the front of your hipbones but

there should be at least 3cm/1” of clearance on either side of the central hipbelt buckle.

2. Shoulder straps - After the hipbelt has been adjusted, pull down and back on the straps at the

bottom of the shoulder straps. This should pull the pack in towards your body. The place where

the top of your shoulder straps anchor into the backpanel should be 3-5cms/1-2” below the top of

your shoulders.

3. Load lifters - Your load lifter straps start at the top of your shoulder straps and connect with the

pack body above your shoulders. Pull on the straps so that they are taut, but be careful not to

over tighten as this will result in a gap forming between your shoulders and your shoulder straps.

• Fit tip - For larger packs, your load lifter straps should ideally form a 45-60 degree angle

between your shoulder straps and the body of the pack. For packs with a volume of less than

50L, because the torso height of the backpack is shorter, your load lifter straps may come

straight o of your shoulders or at a negative angle and connect to your pack body. In this

instance your load lifters act more like compression straps.

4. Sternum strap - Find your sternum strap between your shoulder straps and adjust it up or down

to a comfortable spot on your chest, then connect the buckle and tighten so the sternum strap is

snug.

5. Load stabilizer straps - Some of Thule’s larger technical backpacks are equipped with load

stabilizer straps that connect the hipbelt to the pack body. To better stabilize the load, pull the

load stabilizer straps forward towards the front of your body.

How to load your backpack

A well-packed backpack will feel more balanced, stable and

comfortable – so you are free to enjoy your experience on the trail.

Here are some tips on how to best pack your backpack.

1. Place your heaviest items, like your food, stove and water in the

middle of the pack, close to your spine. This keeps most of the

weight of the pack, its center of gravity, hugged close to the

body. If heavy items are packed too high, the load may feel too

unbalanced and tippy. If too low, the pack can feel saggy.

2. Lighter items such as your sleeping bag, rainﬂy and clothes

should be packed above, below and behind the heavy items.

3. Rain jackets, headlamps, snacks and other “must have” items

should be packed on the top or in the outer pockets of the pack.
