Fit
Our packs typically fit folks between 5'5" and 6'5". If you're near 5'5" and on the slim side (under 150lb), you will probably run out of adjustment room on the shoulder straps. Users slightly over 6'5" may be ok, depending on other dimensions (chest/torso size, etc.). We are happy to send you a free return label if it doesn't fit.
If you're close to the ends of our adjustment range, we have detailed fit videos available to give you the best shot of our packs fitting you.
Note: We are actively developing smaller strap sizes to accommodate those below 5'5".

I just got my Epic 10.3 to replace one of my favorite packs I have ever owned. This was similar to this and made by camelback. They only briefly made the supported hip pack and quickly stopped making it. I have been looking for a replacement because even though the camelback was my favorite it was poorly made and delicate. Both hip zipper quickly became jammed and failed to function. Now this Arctos pack is similar to that camelback but far better quality. It looks to be much more durable and the zippers are robust! I’m so excited to put this thing to the test but from the looks and feel of it I think it will perform excellent. You guys should market this to dirtbike riders as well!! I will use it for hiking, mtn biking and dirtbiking! Thank you!
Pack fits well, seems well constructed. Hardly noticeable while riding a dirt bike on trails.
Awesome pack that I use hiking with my dog. Holds everything with plenty of water for those into 10 mile hikes!
I shopped around for a pack that would fit better. and not weigh down my hips and shoulders. i was skeptical of the price and wasnt sure i wanted to spend that much. but i gave it a shot. this pack had plenty of room for everything. food. snacks and equipment. very well balanced. I bought this to use for my first mtn bike ever. very comfortable. deep pockets. lots of storage. bladder easy to access and refill.
My first ride with this pack was the Kokopelli trail in 3 days. Loved it, stayed in place, held all of the stuff that I needed. The straps tightened down enough for me, 5'4 tall woman. The excess straps after cinching it down to fit is a little long but with the Velcro holders it stays out of my way. It was so nice to get a breeze across my back instead of wearing a backpack. The waist pockets allowed easy access to my phone for pictures and for snacks!!
