Tatūnga me te Whakauru

Proper fitting is crucial for comfort and load distribution. The Atmos AG 65 features an adjustable Anti-Gravity suspension system, harness, and hipbelt to customize the fit to your body.

1. Torso Length Adjustment

The Anti-Gravity suspension system is designed to provide a seamless wrap around your body. Adjust the torso length by sliding the harness up or down along the frame until the hipbelt sits comfortably over your iliac crest (hip bones) and the shoulder straps curve naturally over your shoulders without gapping or digging in.

2. Hipbelt Adjustment

The Fit-on-the-Fly hipbelt can be extended or retracted to perfectly wrap around your hips. Ensure the hipbelt is snug and carries the majority of the pack's weight, typically 70-80%.

3. Shoulder Strap and Load Lifter Adjustment

Tighten the shoulder straps so they are snug but not overly tight. Adjust the load lifter straps (located above the shoulder straps) to pull the pack closer to your body, ensuring the load is stable and close to your center of gravity.

4. Sternum Strap Adjustment

Fasten the sternum strap across your chest and adjust its height and tension for comfort. It should not restrict breathing or movement.
