Re: Re: Does the GG Crown VC 60 Ki fit me? Picks

How long are your trips?
From over 50 years of backpacking 30 lbs for 10 days of backpacking at 10,000 ft. Including food is not that big of a deal as the weight decreases each day.

I did some more research on a pack fitting and I read this time that the shoulder strap does not need to wrap all the way around the shoulder up to the point where the strap attaches to the pack. Apparently the strap is supposed to touch you just for 1 ½  to 2" past the top of the shoulder.

I had only some space on one side. I guess I am not balanced. Additionally he also said that when the pack is new the shoulder straps are stiff so they are going to be higher as well but with time they should mould better to the shoulders. I guess it is possible, isn't it?
