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".

My husband and I took our Arctos 10.3 packs on both short and long rides culminating most recently in a 7 day riding adventure to Finale Ligure, Italy! The packs stayed solid on the famously steep descents and gnarly chunk of Finale carrying 2-2.5L of water. There also was no bounce on technical climbs. Having the weight low on our hips was crucial for our riding performance, and we had no back/shoulder pain. I couldn't get the pack to sit as directed on my female hips but did find a satisfactory comfortable fit for the riding! Ken, to his credit, promptly answered my email questions about fit helping as best as he could! There are some criticisms online about the size of this pack being too small with water inside but we did an 8 hour ride day in CO and I was able to carry all that I needed for the day. Overall a great purchase that we would do again!
Excelente la mejor opción si no quieres que te sude la espalda!
Works great I love it
I use it on my adventure motorcycles,I find it to be very comfortable and easy to drink from on the move!The fit and the way it is made is excellent.I was using a backpack bladder before!This Epic 10.3 is a game changer!
Fits good. It’s feels much better than riding with my old backpack. I highly recommend this.
