• Fitting and Using your MOTHER
  All MOTHER packs are designed as technical packs with the weight of the pack and its contents being carried on your hips. The first time that you throw your pack on you will have to give it some thought.

• We like to loosen the shoulder straps up considerably and position the hip harness so that it is cradling your protruding hip bones (our copy of the Anatomy Coloring Book calls them the iliac crest). Cinch the hip harness down. If you are new to technical packs, it should feel like it is wrapping around your hips with authority, like when you picked-up and jokingly threatened to throw your significant other into a 38 degree river (not that we’ve ever done that) and they hold on for dear life – or at least tight enough to drag you in with them. If the hip harness is connecting with a casual sloppiness, then it is too loose.

• From that point we adjust the shoulder straps and sternum strap to suit. Under normal conditions our straps are pretty loose, with the hip harness carrying the weight. If we have to descend some sketchy scree slope we first unload our guns and then tighten everything down so that our MOTHERs move with us, as a part of our bodies.
