Is the pack the right size for your back length & not your height ?I got a Berghaus crusader 3 in size 3 i am 179 cm tall and i find it rough on my shoulders Is this to be expected or am i not setting it up right
A common misconception. It's back length which matters, not your height. One can be tall with a short back & vice versa.It seems so.
Size 3 is recommended for body height 170 to 183. As he is 179 cm tall it surely fits.
True but as a first guess one has to use something. Adjusting it is not really difficult but it does take some experience and personal preferences and body shape does affect it.A common misconception. It's back length which matters, not your height. One can be tall with a short back & vice versa.
Thanks i got it adjusted fairly well i think the shoulder straps are just very hard i measured my back originally and it was in line with size 3Try that:
1.) Tighten the shoulder straps until the whole load sits on the shoulders, as high as possible.
2.) Tighten the hip belt.
3.) Open the buckles of the shoulder straps until 70 % of the load sit on the hip.
4.) Pull the load control straps above the shoulders tight , so that the rucksack comes tight to your shoulders.
5.) Play around with these options until you found the best adjustment.
I don't own such a rucksack. Perhaps the shoulder padding will soften a bit in use.
