Frequently-Asked Questions
Does the volume of the bag change when purchasing different size packs of the same style?
No, the volume of the bag does not change. The only feature of the pack that can change between different sizes is the yoke and the waist belt.
I am between sizes on the size chart. Should I size up or size down?
We recommend sizing down if you are between sizes. It is very important that the waist belt is able to securely tighten around your hips. If your waist belt is too big you will have a hard time getting the weight in your pack to transfer from your shoulders to your hips.
Does the sizing take into consideration that I may be wearing extra layers?
Yes, the size range that we list on our size chart is not the minimum or maximum adjustment for the yoke and waist belt. There is a little extra adjustment available to accommodate additional layers.
