Help with the fit of my initial ascent 3k

[cole96]

As said I have the 3k, got it a couple months ago. It is currently loaded down with a 50lb sand bag in the pannier. It feels close but not quite enough weight over my hips. I feel it pulling on my shoulders and back like it is trying to weigh me down.

Load lifters are pretty tight

I’d move the shoulder straps down on the frame a half inch or so. Should eliminate that gap. And then just snug the lifters instead of making them real tight.

Also check if one shoulder is slightly higher than the other. I use different attachment heights on the two sides.

I ended up lowering the shoulder straps I believe one notch. It is right now. The weight carries great after walking for 30 minutes, prior it hurt like a mofo
