I followed step 1 (below): then I measured that on the pack that I am currently carrying - it made no sense. When I measured my size and then put the tape on the pack frame it did not seem to line up anywhere that I thought it would. The pack fits me perfectly. Where would you put the tape to determine -from the pack measurement - What size am I ? Kinda like CSI - "the dude that was wearing this pack is a size_____?"
Step 1: To determine your correct size you must first measure your torso length. Ask a friend to use a flexible tape measure (a tailor's tape works best) to measure along the surface of your back from your seventh cervical vertebra (the most prominent bump on your neck) to a horizontal line across your back connecting the outward protrusions of your hip crest (iliac crest). Once you know your torso length use the chart to determine the appropriate frame size.
