What torso length should I get?

To find your torso length, measure the distance between your seventh cervical vertebra and the shelf of your hipbones. Do this by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Tilt your head forward and place your hands on your hips, thumbs to the back. With a flexible tape, have someone measure from the most prominent vertebra at the base of your neck to an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This will be your torso length.


Torso Lengths

Regular Torso 18" to 21"
Long Torso 21" to 25"

What size Shoulder Strap?

Vapor Current (V.C.) packs come with fixed shoulder straps that are not adjustable.
