SIZING / FIT

TALON – MEN’S SIZING S/M 16-20″ / 41-51 cm M/L 19-23″ / 48-58 cm
TEMPEST – WOMEN’S SIZING WXS/S 13-17″ / 33-43 cm WM/L 16-20″ / 41-51 cm

WOMEN’S SPECIFIC FIT

•  The unique suspended mesh located on the shoulders, backpanel, lumbar and hipbelt contour to a wide variety of body shapes and sizes to create a custom fit to your body.
•  The pack shape is narrower and deeper, allowing greater freedom of movement and increases stabilization by lowering the position of the load to a woman’s center of gravity.
•  The shoulder harness is designed with different curves to create an anatomical fit for a woman’s neck, shoulders and chest.
•  Women’s hips are conically shaped with a larger difference between the waist and hip measurements. The hipbelts are shaped and angled to accommodate this difference, which allows a more comfortable load transfer and support.

HARNESS FIT
The harness straps should wrap fully around your shoulders with no gaps between the pack and your back. The padded part of the harness straps should end 1″/2.5 cm- 2″/5 cm below the armpits and the sternum strap adjusted to approximately 2″/5 cm below the collarbone.
