Correct fit on Kifaru Duplex frame?

[razorsharptokill]

Went for a walk with about 30lbs in my pack this morning. I noticed pressure on the left side about where my belt line is. I took the pack off and looked at the strap adjustment. Both seemed to be about the same. On my left there isn't as much space between the back of my shoulder as there is on the right shoulder. Hard to see in the pics. Also, is the belt riding where it should be? Seems like the top of my pelvis is in the middle of the belt but the pic seems to show a weird angle? The 30 lbs carried better than the same weight in any other pack I've worn. Just want to work the bugs out.

Something is goofy with the belt.

Delta straps are WAY to tight!

Aron you gonna be available tonight? Im gonna load about 70 pounds of weights in my highcamp tonight when i get off work and might have some fitment questions......

 

[Aron Snyder]

For sure, home slice.

To add to Aron's comments, I had a fitment issue for the same reason, as the delta straps should only have the slack taken out, no really tightened - and it looks like you have them cranked. With as tight as you have the DS's, it is contorting your belt and will make the pack want to ride down. You can see the bottom line f the belt is way off horizontal, slanting down from front to back. Once you relax the DS's, the hip belt should be more horizontal.

Yea too much slant in the waist belt. It should be up higher in the back. Strap should run across your navel

Better? The belt still seems a little low on my hips. Aaron, sent you a text.

Thanks Moose. I just talked to Aaron too. What great customer service! Second hand pack and frame and he called ME to help. I'm much better adjusted now.

Hard to find a guy more willing to help then Aron, and this is in general not just on K gear.

I'm not sure how Aron always keeps his patience. He is genuinely always helping out.
