Camping Backpacks for Women

Video Transcript

"I am going to talk a little bit about women specific packs. We all know women are shaped a little different then men and so maybe the pack should be as well. If you will notice on these twp packs here we have an Osprey Aether notice the straightness of the hip belt. Men are shaped like this. We don't have very much in terms of hips. Women are shaped like this and they need a different shaped hip belt. You will notice here the up swing of the hip belt. The hip belt comes up when it wraps forward and it creates a cone and that places it in the woman?s hip. Much better than one like this that would gouge the lower part of the hips. So other changes in a woman?s pack typically a little narrower. Narrower straps smaller in torso length a number of differences. If you have any questions give your local outfitter a holler."
