Recently picked up one of these.

Trying it out with around 35-40 pounds in it I’m experiencing some pressure under my arms/around my ribs.
It seems like the angle on the bottoms of the shoulder straps where they attach to the waist belt cause the straps to dig into my ribs.
I tried raising/lowering the sternum strap to see if that helped but it did not.
I’ve also played with the torso adjustment and that didn’t help either.

Anything else to look at??
 
I struggled with the same, I kept playing with the sternum height adjustment, and did not crank down my chest strap. I found once I got a good torso height, cranked down my waist belt, and adjusted the load lifter location on shoulder strap, I found a happy medium. I have read MR packs do not fit large shoulder upper body people as well as others.
