Pack adjustment for running

Load and balance pack

Load the pack with the gear you intend to run with, and put it on. Let the weight of the bag settle onto its balance point on your back—neither too high, nor too low.

Adjust the shoulder straps

Tighten the side adjustment cords so that the shoulder straps are wide on your chest and very snug around your rib cage.

Adjust the sternum straps

Attach the sternum straps. Snug the top strap, and then the bottom strap. Do not overtighten — most of tension should be on the shoulder straps, not the sternum straps.
