For a backpack of 45 liters or more, there are at least five elastic bands that can be adjusted and have different functions:
Belts: Thick belts are important parts of the backpack's apportionment weight and are the most obvious difference between professional backpacks and regular backpacks. Belt can be adjusted according to personal needs, adjusted to bear comfort.
The sizes of the manufacturers are different. In general, the size of the belt is as follows:
If your waist circumference (around the cheekbone) is less than 68 cm, choose a trumpet.
If your waist is 68-78 cm, choose a trumpet.
If your waist is 78-92 cm, check the number.
If your waist is 92-106 cm, choose a large size.
If your waistline is more than 106cm, choose extra large.
In addition, because men and women are different in shape, good manufacturers have designed some backpacks for girls. The carrying system of these bags is specially made according to the physical characteristics of women.
Shoulder straps: A well-designed backpack with a heavy shoulder strap and a degassing effect will not be uncomfortable when the general weight does not exceed 1/3 of the weight. Adjust it so that there is no gap between the bag and your shoulder blade (except for the humpbacked ones). A good bag can arbitrarily adjust the weight distribution on the shoulder. You can adjust it according to your physical strength and environment.
Chest strap: Used to adjust the distance between the two shoulder straps. When used, it should be adjusted so that the backpack can not only adhere to the body, but also does not have a sense of oppression. The chest strap is evident when reducing the weight bearing on the shoulders.
