  • Ever wondered why your heavy pack felt so uncomfortable? Well, it's probably down to the fit and how you've packed it! We would always recommend popping to see us in person to receive a professional pack fitting, however if you're just a little too far away then this is the next best thing.

    Thank you. This is much better and more detailed than what Osprey provided themselves.

    You are the best at explaining everything like a actual teacher. Thumbs up for me. I've watched lots of how to fit a backpack and they never simplified it for a newer backpacker.

    This was most helpful! I needed a reminder as to the order of tightening up straps. And other videos didn't show how the top of the pack is at shoulder blade. Thank you

    Thanks for this, been hiking/trekking for years but am now getting my mum into it this was so helpful. I would say something then she would ask why and I would just look bewildered so she loved this. Thanks again :)

    Those are nice tips and I have a backpack which I am filling with the items I need and keep the heaviest items on the lower part of the pack, and I know how it will fit when put on because I tried it out in advance. Thanks for sharing those tips with all of us and I wish you a Very Merry Christmas.

      No any backpack. For that type of backpack, yes. Generally speaking, yes. For, example, an 'assault pack', no.

    Very helpful video, I just got a Berghaus Trailhead 2.0 65L because although I'm tallish at 5'11" I have very short legs and needed a pack with a lot of back length. This was really helpful to get it all comfortable, walked about 12km today and no aches and pains from the pack.

    Probably like most of us, I've been throwing my ruck sac on, pulling the shoulder straps tight and off I go! However, I stumbled across this vid' by chance and it's total change the comfort of my Osprey Talon 22, which to be fair was already pretty comfy.
    This vid' is concise, to the point, perfect length so as not to get boring and makes perfect sense.
    Thank you so muck trekkit ;-)

    Walked a training walk in my loaded pack earlier this week (first ever multi day trip coming up), terrible hip pain (think it was in the IT band).
    Watched this video then adjusted my pack properly - feels like my pack is literally kilos lighter, way more comfortable, no pain. Thank you.

    This is so so helpful! I’m 5’3 so I feel like I can finally relate to a woman. Too many guys videos out there and I was so confused regarding what backpack to get. I ended up buying 3 wrong ones. I really wanted an Osprey Kyte but I was doubtful without trying it myself because the country I am in doesn’t sell it but hopefully next year. Thank you for making this. It kinda makes me feel more confident now that I see a woman with a similar height! It’s also funny how even this is the exact bag I was planning to buy.
