FINE-TUNING THE FIT

In order to determine which harness components that are right for you and tune the pack

SWAPPING THE HIP BELT

for a custom fit, you will measure your neck, chest, and waist. CHIEF packs come with a
default setup of a medium belt and medium shoulder straps (set at wide). If your sizing
does not reflect the size currently on the pack then you will need to follow the steps on
pages 5,6,7 to exchange and adjust components.

1. Determine Shoulder Strap Width

(inner)

NOTE: If you measured 17" or less you may still

use the wide position with body armor.

2. Select Proper Fit Shoulder Strap

To accomodate variable width necks and

shoulders all packs come with an adjustable width bracket. To determine your
setting we suggest you measure the
circumference of your neck. The regular width setting is for neck sizes 17" or
smaller and wide is for 17.5" and larger
as measured at the adams apple. If you
measured regular and have a 20" torso no
bracket adjustment is necessary. If you
need to change width and/or torso length
then you will have to adjust the bracket
(page 7). Follow the next step before adjusting torso length & strap width as you
may need to exchange shoulder straps
also.

Your chest measurement should be taken just under your arms and across your shoulder
blades. After measuring yourself locate the sizing tag to determine if the pack is equipped
with the correct size strap. If a tag cannot be found assume that it is a medium. If you are
a 20" torso with a regular neck and need to exchange shoulder straps sizes see page 6
only. If you need to exchange shoulder strap sizes and make a torso/width adjustment
then you will have to follow all the steps on pages 6 & 7. Be sure to replace the shoulder
straps with the correct size.

It is not necessary to remove the framesheet from the pack to swap the hip belt. This process is a lot easier with an empty pack. Our Power Hook system allows easy access to the
mounting hardware. You will use a #2 Phillips screwdriver on the hardware. When remounting
the hip belt make sure it is right side up and arcing upward.

know this, take a measurement with a flexible tape measure with the tape next to your
skin, around your waist. Measure the circumference at your hip points. Or, you can simply
try on a hip belt; just be certain to remove bulky clothing or wear clothing suited for your
conditions. A properly sized hip belt will wrap over your hip bones and still leave a gap in
the padding at the front. All belts have a sizing tag on them. Locate the tag to determine
if it is equipped with the correct size belt. If it is not then follow the steps on page 5 to

SWAPPING AND ADJUSTING SHOULDER STRAPS

It is not necessary to remove the framesheet from the pack to adjust or swap shoulder
straps. Our frame cutouts allow easy access to the mounting hardware. You will use a #2

To adjust the torso length only, skip to step 3. To remove the shoulder straps, simply follow the
photos below to access the mounting hardware. See the diagrams on page 6 for adjustment

ACCESS FEATURE
The CHIEF Packs are accessed through the top in a conventional manner, or can also be
accessed via a zippered front panel that allows for quick retrieval of items even if they are
placed deep in the pack. We believe that our Access system is superior in function to the
traditional sleeping bag compartment with a divider. Our Access panel provides quick access
to the packs entire contents.

between the SHOULDER STRAPS to lower the pack to the ground.

NOTE: Be sure to loosen all straps (as noted above) when you take off your pack. The
next time you put on your pack, follow the process for tightening all straps. Following
this process for strap tightening will ensure a proper fit.

DOFFING THE PACK - EMERGENCY

PROPER FIT

Now the access panel can be

unzipped from both sides to
expose pack contents.

With access panel unzipped, there is a
series of compression straps used to
secure pack load. When loading pack
through compression panel use these
compression straps to secure pack
contents before closing. Failure to use
compression straps makes it more
difficult to close panel and puts undo
stress on the zippers.

What you will notice immediately with our CHIEF packs is amazing comfort. The load is
evenly distributed over your back and onto your hips. You have plenty of room to tilt your
head back and look up. The fit feels like it was made custom for your body. The ride is
very well cushioned and stable. The pack feels in tune with your natural body motion and
shape. And finally, the ride is stable; no swaying or sagging, and you can totally control
the load. After youve been on the trail for a day, you will appreciate this pack even more!
Your back muscles should still feel good, you shouldnt have any hot spots, and you should
have a minimum amount of hipbone fatigue.

Reversible flaps offer horizontal PALS (molle) webbing

webbing is on the outside if desired. To do so, you will
need to swap the male & female buckle parts . A needle

A Flat tipped screwdriver will aid in this process. Use the plastic threader bar to weave the
the flap webbing to the pack webbing as shown (fig. A & B). Fold the plastic threader back at
the creases and tuck into the loops to finish the connection (fig. C).

VOILE STRAPS & VERTICAL CONVERSION

Voile Straps are made with a powerful stretch urethane, in combination with a rugged nylon
buckle. They are recommended for lashing equipment to the Flatbed because they never
loosen, and they can be cinched tightly for securing heavy items. For lashing equipment
vertically, use Voile straps in combination with our vertical conversion bar, which converts
horizontal PALS webbing into a vertical lash point.
Voile straps are available in 9", 12", 15", 18" and 24" lengths.

Voile Strap Keeper

LATERAL BAG SET

The Lateral Bag Set attaches to the flatbed to form a central vertical pocket which is perfect
for carrying a litter, rope, drybag, etc. securely cinched in with two straps across the center.
Bags on each side zip open at the top, and provide 700 cubic inches of storage per side. The
lateral bag set comes with a plastic threader bar which is used to weave through the PALs
webbing on the bags and Flatbed panel for a secure attachment. After threading the plastic
threader bar, it is folded back at the crease, and the end is tucked back into the PALS webbing.
Voile straps are secured in the proper orientation using a knotted cord as shown above

Spot Cleaning
The CHIEF pack can be spot cleaned effectively using a mild detergent solution applied with a small stiff bristle
brush. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water and hang dry.
Hand Washing
The pack can be hand washed with a mild detergent solution. Stains can be washed with a brush. After washing,
rinse thoroughly with water, and hang dry. A water-repellent such as Nikwax or Scotchgaurd can be sprayed on
according to the manufacturers instructions. Allow the water -repellent treatment to dry before using.
Machine Washing
DO NOT WASH IN A TOP-LOADING MACHINE - The center agitator on a top-loading machine can cause damage
to the packs straps and fabric especially during a spin cycle. Once the packs frame has been removed, the
pack can be machine washed in a heavy duty front-loading machine with a mild detergent . Stains can be prewashed with a brush. After washing, hang dry. A water-repellent such as Nikwax or Scotchgaurd can be sprayed
on according to the manufacturers instructions. Allow the water -repellent treatment to dry before using.
