Thread: Modern Packs

Another thing is your body shape changes as you get older, and I'm not just talking about too much beer!. I carried decent loads with a Macpac Torres for many years but after I got to about 55 the waist belt wouldn't work anymore. At that stage I was pretty fit (was a masters rowing provincial rep) without much extra weight. But the bloody waist belt would just slide right down off my hips. I tried a new belt but same result.

I got a new lightweight pack and with light loads it's OK but I'd love to find something that fits properly and would allow a decent load . . .
