How to Choose a Pack Size

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

  1. Tilt your head slightly forward to locate the bony bump at the base of your neck. (This is your 7th cervical (or C7) vertebra).
  2. Using a flexible tape measure, have someone measure starting at that spot and running down along the curve of your spine.
  3. 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.
  4. 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)
  5. 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.

    Exactly what I had hoped!

    Great pack - fits perfectly (size M - I’m 5’9” and 175 lbs and is super light but strong. Lots of storage for things in the side and back of the pack. Only very small downside is there aren’t side zippers (they would add weight) so you need to open the top to get anything in the main compartment. Tradeoff is worth it though - love the pack.

    Halka 70L

    Still confused as to properly attaching my ice axe and hiking pole to this pack. Love everything about it but I wish it had loops at the bottom for holding these tools. Did I miss something? I'm open to any suggestions. Not finding anything online. However I am super happy with the quality of this pack.

    Pretty good

    This is a very good, well thought out pack with one exception: no load lifters. Given the size and weight capacity of this pack, load lifters would make sense. I carried 40 lbs for 3 days over 40 miles and it was tough to get the load on my back right without lifters.

    Amazing with a twist

    LOVE THE PACK! Carries the load so well. Super light weight but burly. Would still buy this packs

    Con- first adventure to summit Rainier the buckles on the lid that connect to the shoulder straps broke. That was pretty lame. I became concerned for the longevity of the pack. BUT! Hyperlite shipped a new set no problem and are easy to work with so I am not worried about it.

    Great pack! … but had to replace the wimpy plastic connectors

    Light, well-designed pack. Oxygen-tank compartments on the sides are great for pickets, Nalgene bottles, and stoves (just right for MSR Windburner or Jetboil). The only perplexing downside is the wimpy plastic connectors used to strap the brain to the pack. 2 of them broke on a relaxed river backpacking trip, with little stress applied. Glad it was not on a mountain with greater consequences. The choice to go with such a low-quality connector on an otherwise premium-quality pack is a head-scratcher to me. I have the Prism 40, and that uses a solid aluminum connector in exactly the same place.
