[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 330224, member: 13090"] This is a common issue with people who haven't been properly fitted for a backpack; they shift the load to the shoulder straps and then stabilize things using the waist-belt. Which, as you point out, is precisely opposite of how it [I]should[/I] be done. With the shoulder straps completely loose, the waist-belt should be adjusted first it fully supports the weight on the hips. Then the shoulder straps are tightened [I]just enough[/I] to stabilize things and no more. If the shoulder straps don't have a little play in them they're too tight.
