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.

Love the pack. Recommend adding some additional material on one side of the pack for added protection carrying pickets.

Great backpack.

Unbelievably light. People are fascinated by the difference compared to their smaller but heavier pack. Large enough to fit everything you'll need. I recommend Hyperlite to everyone that will listen.

Works like it says on the packet.

I like the simple design and durability of the pack.

No ‘bells or whistles’ to get in the way, there are always things that would be nice. But if you have a look pragmatically this pack has exactly what is needed to fitful the simple alpine pack with plenty of overflow.

Phenomenal Pack

I wish I bought this sooner. Really an incredible bag for ice climbing. It’s extremely well proportioned and is really comfortable even on long approaches.
