Troubleshooting
Pack feels unbalanced or puts pressure on shoulders
Re-adjust the hip belt to sit correctly on your hips. Ensure the shoulder straps and load lifters are properly tensioned.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure all buckles are unlocked before attempting adjustments. If straps are new, they may require some breaking in.
Hydration hose doesn't fit through the port
Check the size of your hydration reservoir hose and compare it with the port opening. Some reservoirs have larger diameter hoses.
