Customize Your Fit
Get The Right Fit
To get the most of the advanced load-bearing ability of your AttackPAK, a properly sized belt and frame is essential. Getting the right fit ensures that all your pack components work together to relieve stress on the core, shoulders and back by transferring the weight of the load to the hips and legs.
Measuring for AttackPAK frame size
Step 1. Take a measurement from your C7 to the floor
C7 is the bony part of your spine at the back of your neck, just above your shoulders. Stand straight and drop the tape down your back to the floor
Step 2. Take a measurement from your waist/hips to the floor
Place your hands on your hipbones with your thumbs pointing back toward your spine and your fingers wrapping forward. Hold your hands out parallel to the floor and drop the tape from your hands to the floor
Using the measurements you took above, in inches, put the numbers into this formula:
(Step 1) – (Step 2) + (2”) = your Optimal Frame Size (OFS)
Measuring for AttackPAK waist belt size
Measure your waist at the top of your hip bone. You can use paracord, then stretch it out to measure the length with a ruler or tape measure.
28"- 30" around your waist at a comfortable resting place = Small
32"- 34" around your waist at a comfortable resting place = Medium
36"- 38" around your waist at a comfortable resting place = Large
40"- 42" around your waist at a comfortable resting place = Extra Large
44"- 46" around your waist at a comfortable resting place = XXL Large
If your measurement falls outside the 28"-46" range, please contact us to place a custom order.
Gearing up with your AttackPAK
Insert the frame in the frame sleeve on the back of the pack. Make sure it is pushed up to the top webbing
-
Put on the waist belt. The top of the belt should rest above your hip-bone or iliac crest
-
Adjust the belt straps to a comfortable tension – the padded ends should not touch
-
Put on the pack. Insert the frame into the belt, pull the shoulder straps to a snug fit
Check the frames size
-
Put on your pack, frame disconnected from the belt. The frame is too long if the bottom edge of the frame is lower than the bottom of your waist belt by more than 2”
-
The frame is too short if the bottom edge of the frame is higher than the bottom of your waist belt
