Pack Fitting - Kakwa 55
Torso Fit (Key Measurement):
- Small → 15–18" (38–46 cm)
- Medium → 17–20" (43–51 cm)
- Large → 19–22" (48–56 cm)
Tip: Measure from the base of your neck (C7 vertebra) to the top of your hips (iliac crest). This is difficult to do perfectly, so we recommend having someone else help and repeating it a few times. How to measure
Height (Secondary Guide):
Your torso measurement is the most important measurement but your height can also be a helpful reference:
- 5'11" - 6'2" (180 - 187 cm) → Usually Large
- 5'8" - 5'11" (173 - 180 cm) → Usually Medium
- 5'5" - 5'8" (165 - 173 cm) → Usually Small
Between Sizes?
Our sizes have overlap, so your torso may fit into two sizes. In that case, choose the size you are further into the range for. If it is a tie, decide based on your height or size up because a too large pack can still transfer weight to the hips, while a too small pack cannot.
