Opstelling en Pas

Properly fitting your Escapist 18 Daypack is crucial for comfort and stability, especially during active use.

1. Adjusting Shoulder Straps and Hipbelt

Begin by loosening all straps: shoulder straps, hipbelt, and sternum strap. Put on the pack and center the hipbelt over your hip bones. Tighten the hipbelt until it feels snug and secure, bearing most of the pack's weight.

Next, tighten the shoulder straps until the pack feels comfortable against your back, ensuring the load is evenly distributed between your shoulders and hips. Avoid overtightening, which can cause discomfort.
