Dave, How tall are you? With your history I would make sure you try on anything I put on your back with a real load. I love the durability of this pack but I haven't worn every pack out there. Not every pack fits the same and that's why you already know you probably are best to go to a retail store or show where you can try on multiple packs. Thanks for watching!!!! 🤘🏻
Thanks for gear review. Not much out there on these packs. But are you sure thats the best fit on your frame. The load lifters aren't able to help much when angled below your shoulders.
Dave, With the weight of my tripod, 15s, & dual 66 spotters, plus misc gear I don't have any problems with my shoulders. If I am going to be caring any heavier load I will adjust the straps down slightly so I have more lift and make sure I tighten my waist belt to where it rest on my hips. I personally think the lifters should have some more travel in them and wish I would have talked about that in the review. Thanks, Craig Steele
Craig.I have two of the packs...bought a brand new one in OCT...I have been think about maybe trying a Kifaru. I had back surgery in Jan (spinal fusion L4-L5) so I need to get the weight off my back and on to my hips...Thanks for your videos...I have watched every single one while I have been out of work and healing up from surgery..Keep up the great work....

Awesome packs!
how do you get your load lifter to pull the weight off your shoulders with the frame so low?
