The rest of the main compartment remains free for other cargo, holding heavier items next to the wearer's back for the best balance and comfort.</p><ul><li>Main body is 640-denier ripstop nylon Shadowbox (with 420-denier contrast patches).

MEC Big Squeeze 2 Backpack

Torso length is measured from the most prominent vertebrae at the back of your neck (top of shoulders) to the spot on your lower spine that lines up with the top of your hipbone.

The hipbelt and/or shoulder straps of the pack are designed to move, pivot or flex to follow your body’s movements.  Each brand uses their own technology.

An adjustable harness lets you change the height of the shoulder straps to fit your specific back length.
