I am back in the market shopping for a new pack. I always seem to have a hard time finding a pack that fits me. I have a tall torso and wear a size 38 or 40 pants. That being said I am running into problems finding a pack that the belt actually wraps around my hips/waist. How far do you guys prefer/want the padding on the hipbelt to wrap around? I tried a MR and a Stone Glacier but the padding seems to stop right at my iliac crest. To me I would think you would want it to wrap more to offer more padding when packing heavy loads and to ensure better weight transfer. Am I wrong in my thinking?
