How to custom fit the Makalu Pro,
Forester, Reality or Acadia to your body
1. FRAME SIZE
Measure your torso length using a flexible tape
measure, or Gregory Fit-O-Matic. Do it two or three times, just to be
sure.

If
your torso measurement is: Your frame size should be: 14 15 _ XS
(not all packs are made in XS) 15 _ 17 _ SM 17 _ 19 _
MD 19 _ 21 _ LG
2. WAIST BELT SIZE
Measure your waist around the top of your
hipbones.

If your waist measurement is: Your belt size should
be: 22 28 SM 28 34 MD 34 Larger LG
To
change the waist belt size, reach behind the waist belt and locate the
plastic panel and metal slider that attach the belt onto the pack. Release
the front buckle and remove the side stabilizer strap. Twist the metal
sliders to remove from the plastic attachment and slide the belt out from
behind the lumbar pad. Reverse the process to install the correct size
belt.
3. SHOULDER HARNESS SELECTION
Shoulder harnesses come in six sizes: - Mens SM,
MD, and LG - Womens XS, SM, and MD
In general, the shoulder
harness size is usually the same as the frame size. Check to make sure the
main curve on the harness is level with your armpit. Make sure the load
lifter straps on top of the harness are loose.

The sternum strap may be moved up or down on the shoulder
harness by releasing the snaps that attach it. The only rule of thumb is
that it should be in a comfortable position, and it should not restrict
your breathing.
4. SHOULDER HARNESS INSTALLATION
Your torso length determines the shoulder harness
setting.
If your frame size is: XS SM MD LG 15 15 _ 17
17 _ 19 19 _ 21 21 _ 14 14 _ 16 16 _ 18 18 _ 20
20 _

Twist the metal slider at the top of the harness to
remove it from the Auto·Cant slot. Reverse the process to
re-install.
