The shoulder har-
ness can be adjust-
ed for wider shoul-
ders by moving the
load lifters outwards
(buckle 5). We rec-
ommend trying both
settings to nd out
which one is right
for you.
To rest your shoul-
ders on the go just
release the load lift-
ers (buckles 3). This
will move most of
the weight off your
shoulders and onto
your hips.
If your hip tires out
just pull the load
lifters tight and and
loosen the hip belt
(buckle 4) to move
the weight of the
pack to your shoul-
ders.
Thank you and congratulations for choosing a Savotta rucksack!
Take some time to properly adjust your pack, this will provide the best
possible carrying comfort. Savotta rucksacks feature an adjustable car-
rying system, this enables you to adjust the pack to t your back perfectly.
Start by adjusting the back length. Measure the distance from the top
of your hip bone to the top of your shoulder muscle. This measurement
should be the same as the distance from the middle of the hip belt to the
point where the shoulder harness starts to separate (measurement A). The
shoulder harness and hip belt can be moved up and down by loosening
and tightening the turnbuckles/tension cord (and buckle 1).
Lift the rucksack up on your back. The hip belt should not squeeze your
stomach nor hang on your buttocks, it should be centered on the top of
your hip bone. Adjust the shoulder harness to evenly distribute the weight
on both shoulders and hip (buckles 2).
On-the-go adjustments can be made by adjusting the load lifters (buckles
3). Tighten them to pull the top of the pack closer and loosen them to
allow it to hang further away. Example: when skiing you should always
tighten the load lifters to prevent wobbling and swinging.
Top arch
The top arch is included with certain Savotta rucksacks. The top arch is
attached using conical sockets and an adjustable collar. Loosen the col-
lar (screw 6) and adjust the top arch to the desired height, tighten the sc-
rew to lock the adjustment. The conical sockets can sometimes stick real
tight but will come loose by applying moderate force upwards against the
arch, we recommend a smack with your st.
