Rucksack Fitting
Product/Skill: Rucksacks/Luggage
Interest: Walking
When wearing a rucksack, your hips can take a greater amount of weight than your shoulders. With this in mind, whenever you wear a rucksack, try and keep 'most' of the weight travelling down your body and resting on your hips. Shrug up your shoulders, and then tighten the waistbelt. Try not to restrict breathing (!) but also ensure that it is comfortable. This way, your shoulders carry very little of the weight and your movement is not restricted. If you notice discomfort on the hips, swap the weight around by releasing the hip-belt slightly and tightening up the shoulder straps.
