November 16, 2009Proper pack-fitting, by Gregory

A proper fitting pack is essential. Even if you get the “world’s best pack”, if it doesn’t fit properly, it’s not the world’s best pack. A good fit means comfort and if you’re hauling a pack all day long, comfort is key. You’ll perform a lot better since discomfort is tiring, both physically and mentally. Not only that, but packs don’t grow on trees, they cost money. A better fit means a better return on your investment and who doesn’t want that?

See what you can do with a properly fitted pack?

To help you get a better pack fit, Gregory has made helpful video, which also helps with the sizing. Check it out!

If you’re not used to it, fitting your pack can be a little bewildering, but as you can see in the video, it’s actually pretty simple to fit your pack. And it’s not like you have to do it all the time.

Let’s be honest, we love hiking but it can be quite tiring (which is part of the fun!). If you make sure your pack treats you right, you can increase the good tiredness. So go on, get good tired!
