Setup u Aġġustament Inizjali

ASIHOS System Adjustment

The ASIHOS SYSTEM allows for height adjustment of the backpack to fit various torso lengths. This system utilizes straps to modify the back panel's dimension, ensuring a personalized and comfortable fit. The ASIHOS system is built on a lightweight, ergonomic aluminum frame integrated into the back panel, which helps maintain the backpack's vertical stability and provides ample internal space.

1. Loosen All Straps: Before putting on the backpack, loosen all adjustment straps, including shoulder straps, load lifters, sternum strap, and hip belt.
2. Adjust Torso Length: Locate the ASIHOS adjustment mechanism on the back panel. Follow the markings or instructions on the system to slide the shoulder harness up or down until it matches your torso length. The top of the shoulder straps should be approximately 2-3 inches below your shoulders when the hip belt is properly positioned.
3. Position Hip Belt: Fasten the hip belt around your hips so that the top edge of the belt rests on your iliac crest (hip bones). Tighten the hip belt securely. Approximately 70-80% of the pack's weight should be carried on your hips.
4. Tighten Shoulder Straps: Pull the shoulder straps down and back to snug the pack against your back. Avoid overtightening, as this will shift weight off your hips.
5. Adjust Load Lifters: These straps connect the top of the shoulder straps to the top of the pack. Tighten them to pull the top of the pack closer to your body, preventing it from swaying backward. They should be at a 45-degree angle.
6. Fasten Sternum Strap: Adjust the sternum strap across your chest to a comfortable height. This strap helps stabilize the shoulder straps and prevents them from digging into your armpits.
