May 28, 2010, Newsletter Issue #105: Backpack Comfort

Tip of the Week

Backpacks these days are getting very high tech, with new materials and water bladders etc. Thatīs all good but what happens when your $440 pack is full of gear, youīre hiking down the trail and it just doesnīt feel comfortable? We hear all about contour hugging design and all that but somehow itīs killing your back.
My suggestion is to loosen the upper straps allowing 4-5 inches of space between the top of the pack and your back. Now your back can conform to its own shape rather than being forced to fit the pack. I met this kid in Nepal who was hiking in pain and fixed his problem in 1 minute.
