Description

These are used on the large capacity packs. While the pelvis is a great load carrying structure, the hipbelt must be exceptional in design to take heavier weights without causing bruising over your hipbones or pressure on your hip sockets. Our large hipbelts are the result of many years of evolutionary development and refinement.

Sizing

Our Pelvic-Form hipbelts come in 3 sizes to cover the whole range of pelvis sizes. Each has three parts, a central base and two ends. The 3 parts join together with velcro. You can micro-adjust the overall hipbelt curvature and the length by changing the velcro overlap.

Auto-Moulding

Our Pelvic-Form hipbelts have separate top and bottom tensioning webs to the center buckle to distribute the load over the widest area. In addition, they use a 2:1 pulley system to allow easy tightening with heavier loads. The tensioning webs connect to top and bottom adjustment buckles via one webbing loop, forming the same easy to grab handle to tension the hipbelt. By adjusting the relative tightness of the top and bottom webs you can mold the hipbelt ends precisely to your hip shape.

PACKS - For Both Men and Women

WHAT IS MY BACKLENGTH, Short or Long?

The Liquid Agility and Mountain Magic packs have a standard backlength.

For all other packs, you need to measure your body's back length in order to determine the appropriate size pack for you. Measure the distance from the top of your hip bones to the mid- point of your shoulder (where the shoulder strap goes over the shoulder) to determine your back length.

For accuracy, stand with your back against a wall with a hard covered book and pencil in hand. Place the book vertically against your side with the bottom edge of the book resting on top of your hipbone and the back edge against the wall. Mark the height of the lower edge of the book on the wall. This is the height of the top of your hips.

Now place the book vertically by the side of your head, with the back edge resting against the wall and the bottom edge resting on the mid-point of one shoulder (half way between your neck and the end of your shoulder - this is where the center of the shoulder straps should lie). Mark the height of the bottom edge of the book on the wall. This is the height of your shoulders.
Now measure the difference in height between the 2 marks on the wall - this is your back length.

If your back length is less than 15” (38 cm), choose the Short Backlength Pack.

If your back length is 15" (38 cm) or greater, choose the Long Backlength Pack.

WHAT IS MY HIPBELT SIZE, Small, Medium or Large?

The Liquid Agility, Natural Exhilaration and Mountain Magic packs have a standard size hipbelt, which can be adjusted to fit virtually any size waist.

Our larger pack models are equipped with Pelvic-Form Hipbelts, which come in 3 hipbelt sizes. The medium size is standard. To decide whether this will fit, use a tape measure to determine your waist size, as the top of the hip belt goes around your waist.

If your waist size is less than 33.5” (85cm) choose the small size, if it is greater than 37.5 ” (95 cm), choose the large size.

FRONT BALANCE POCKETS & BAGS

Our balance pockets come in pairs and attach to your Aarn pack before you put it on. They may be left attached or removed easily to create the best daypack for hiking or travel, depending on your needs. There are 3 categories of balance pockets and bags:

Hipster, Compact, Mountain and Marathon Balance Pockets

These ultralite Pockets are for use with small to mid-volume models that are equipped with Auto-Form hipbelts and Lite Shoulder Straps.

Sport, Expedition and Photo Balance Pockets

These pockets attach to the larger model packs equipped with Pelvic Form hipbelts and Flow-Thru Shoulder Straps.

Universal Balance Bags

Our Universal Balance Bags are a single unit that attaches to any brand of pack that comes equipped with a sternum strap and hipbelt.

WATER WIZARD PONCHO RAIN GEAR

From top of shoulder to top of hip bone:

If your back length is less than 15” (38 cm), choose the Short size

If your back length is 15” (38 cm) or greater, choose the Long size

PACK PROTECTOR

For packs up to 50 liters, choose small size; for packs up to 60 liters, choose large size.
