Assuming you are using a pack with a hipbelt, how do you like your shoulder straps to fit, when standing upright in a relaxed position?
I seem to prefer #3, though I notice that most packs "in my size" tend to be more #2 than #3. Which means I have to hunch my shoulders up a bit to make full contact with the shoulder straps. Resulting in shoulder ache.
- Off the front of your shoulders and up to the pack. Acting almost like load lifters
- Over the top of your shoulders and straight pack to the pack
- Over the top of your shoulders, and back down 1.5-2" before connecting to the pack
- Other?
I was just at my outfitters at lunch and he seem to think the shoulder straps should fit more like #1 or #2.
Just wondering.
