What torso length should I get?

To find your torso length, measure the distance between your seventh cervical vertebra and the shelf of your hipbones. Do this by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Tilt your head forward and place your hands on your hips, thumbs to the back. With a flexible tape, have someone measure from the most prominent vertebra at the base of your neck to an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This will be your torso length.

Stratus Torso Lengths
Short Torso 14” to 18”
Regular Torso 18” to 22”

NOTE: Each framesheet has fine adjustment settings spaced in one inch increments to further fine-tune your fit. If you are an 18” torso try the short torso first.

What size hipbelt?

Our Expedition belt is compatible with all Expedition (Stratus or Cirrus) Pack models. It is designed to support serious loads in amazing comfort. In addition to all the features of the Light Pack Belt, the Standard/Expedition Belt is wider and sports our exclusive Cruise Control strap. The Cruise Control is a hip belt stabilizer strap that works dynamically to pull the load into your hips while still allowing the belt to pivot on the Pivot Point hardware. You can adjust how much you want the belt to pivot by loosening the black hip stabilizer strap and adjusting the silver cruise control. Lots of pivot works well off trail or on steep climbs and descents. Less pivot for the flats. You can also lock your belt to eliminate any pivoting action by simply tightening the black hip stabilizer strap. Now that’s Cruise Control!

What size shoulder strap?

For a truly custom fit on our Stratus and Nimbus packs you can swap out shoulder straps. To find the ideal shoulder strap size, measure your chest. Our shoulder straps fit both men and women equally well.
