Needs a Manual!
Where are the instructions, or at least some diagrams? I purchased the Women's 48L L.L.Bean Ridge Runner Pack for a three-day, guided Appalachian Mountain Trail trip in the White Mountains. I already owned the 22L Women's L.L.Bean Ridge Runner Day Pack, so I figured the 48L would be a good choice to carry the 20+ lbs of necessary gear. Given all the features of a pack for this purpose, why are there no guidelines for fit and use of all the straps, etc? How would someone new to backpacking know what all the straps were for and how to adjust them? The hip belt, shoulder straps, the sternum strap are self-explanatory but I struggled with the strap adjustments, especially the shoulder straps and load lifters. And it was the Appalachian Mountain Trail guide who showed me that there was a Velcro panel on the back that allowed for vertical adjustment of the whole pack. I never would have known it was there. Once I figured out how to put the pack on and make adjustments, I found none of the straps glided easily. The pack was pretty uncomfortable for three days. I learned the importance of a well-fitting pack, no less important than the proper fit of a hiking boot. Before the next trip, I will likely make another purchase of a different brand from a store that offers some expertise in fitting the pack to the customer.
