Torso Length

Variant

Weight: 42.6 oz

Availability: In stock, ready to ship

$425.00

Your torso length, not your height, determines your pack size. We recommend the following to determine yours:

Tilt your head slightly forward to locate the bony bump at the base of your neck. (This is your 7th cervical (or C7) vertebra).
Using a flexible tape measure, have someone measure starting at that spot and running down along the curve of your spine.
Place your hands on your hips so you can feel your iliac crest, which serves as the “shelf” of your pelvic girdle. (It’s the first hard thing you feel when you run your fingers down from the sides of your ribcage.) Position your hands so your thumbs are reaching behind you.
Have your friend finish measuring at the point where the tape crosses an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This distance is your torso length.
- Small (15.0” - 17.0” torso)
- Medium (17.0” - 19.0” torso)
- Large (19.0” - 21.0” torso)
- Tall (21.0”+ torso)
If your measurement falls right in between sizes (for example, if you have a 17.0” torso, so you are right on the line between a Small and a Medium), we suggest you choose the larger torso size.

My 1st Date with Halka 55. 3/8/25
10 Hr 45 min back country ski and snowshoe deep in the Adirondacks w/ my buddy, who also has a Hyperlite. I love the way it felt on my back and didn’t get hung up while bushwhacking. All the straps and clips work well & highly and easily adjustable. You can tell everything is well thought out and tested in the real world. I do have to find tune my organization of stuff. Hard to unlearn 40 years.

Best winter adventure backpack
The Halka 55 is perfect for winter adventures with a full set of gear.. I was a bit nervous purchasing such an expensive back pack without trying it on in a store, but was really happy to say that this is probably the most comfortable back pack I’ve ever owned over the 30 miles of terrain with 35lbs of load that it travelled this past weekend.
The many tie in points on the outside make nearly infinite configurations on how you can store your gear. The molded back frame hugs the shape of your back so well and allows for good freedom of movement. Just a great pack and the construction appears to be just sturdy, so this should last for many years to come.
The one challenge over this past weekends adventures was water. I need to find a better system for quick water access. I have a 2L hydra pack strapped to the outside, but it took taking off my pack to get a drink, which is not ideal for moving quickly or staying hydrated. That is not a criticism, just a problem to be solved.
Amazing backcountry backpack.
