Considering trying a new pack, a ULA....Circuit.
I realize I am taking a risk ordering but no local dealers means mail order.
I have always had some what of a beer belly. In my later years it has grown.
Wear my existing pack below belly but always have downward slipping.
I also have no arse to keep pack up. I also dislike the feeling of the waist belt around my mid section. Even located in mid section it slips due to, guessing, the softness, yep.
Talked/email Chris at ULA and he suggest that I go with a large torso even though my torso length measures a medium. (on the long side of medium)
He asked my pant length, not actual but what I typically wear? Never had that asked or even considered in a fitting before.
Measurements are
5'-10 1/2" tall
215 lbs
31" pant inseam
Measured torso is 20"
My old pack an older, beast of a North Face internal hat has served me OK for overnighters but has never been comfortable for much over a few days.
What says WB? Go with the large torso or give the medium a try?
