Pack Fit

[N&N Waterfowl]

There are tons of discussion on which pack is best, but not much on adjusting the fit of your pack. Just wondering what others thought or technique is for adjusting your pack once you have decided on which manufacturer.

The hip belt is everything. The shoulder straps should contact the front, not the top, of your shoulders next. The chest strap is not for tightening down, but gentle lateral stabilization. The load lifters should pull weight off the top of your shoulders. The load stabilizers around the waist are there necessary for heavy loads, but not critical to daily use.
