We all have unique body types, so two people of the same height may be better suited to two different sizes. That's why it's important to measure the key dimensions and choose according to your own measurements.

Torso length – important for backpack size

The upper point of the torso length is the C7 vertebra. You can find it by bending your head forward and feeling for the most prominent bone bump on the back of your neck.
The lower point is located on the spine between the upper edges of the hip bones. You can find it by feeling the upper edges of the hip bones with your index fingers, placing your palms on your hips, and pointing your thumbs toward your spine. The point where your palms meet is the lower point of your torso length. Simply measure the distance on the spine between these points; it is best to ask someone to measure the distance for you. You can use a soft tape measure or a piece of string, which you can then measure.

For best fit, you will need your torso length, hip and waist measurements. 

Torso length:

1. Start at the C7 vertebra at the base of your neck. The best way to find this is to bend your neck and feel the first bump along the base of your neck. This bump is where you will want to start your measurement. 

2. Next, you'll want to find the midpoint between your iliac crest. To find your iliac crest, cup your hip bones on both sides and find the center point on your spine. This midpoint is where your thumbs should be pointing. 

3. Finally, measure from the C7 vertebra to your iliac crest. From there, you'll have your torso measurement. 

This fastpack is designed to be worn higher and tighter than our original Kumo. For this reason, the back length for S/M is 40.6 cm and 45.7 cm for M/L. Please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
