any tips for my hip belt being too high?
Okay so basically I ordered the Aura AG LT 65 but the women's version because I measured my torso and I should've fit (my torso was on the slightly high end but still should've fit). Turns out I'm a big chungus because I tried it on while it was fully packed and everything to fit it and the torso length was on the lowest setting (it was on the bottom of the ladder system) and my hip belt still wasn't where I wanted it to be, it was slightly too high. Everything else felt kinda fine, the shoulder straps were perfect. I would return the rucksack but I have an expedition tomorrow and I don't have enough time to unpack my new rucksack and put it all into my old rucksack. My dad spent £250 on this rucksack so I feel really guilty. I took the tags off since I'm going to have to use this rucksack on my next 2 expeditions but after that I might just sell it for maybe £200 and buy a new unisex rucksack that'll be able to reach my preferred hip length.
idk I'm hoping someone has some life changing advice where I actually can slightly adjust my hip belt to be lower and not sell my rucksack for £50 less than I got it.
also I did not have my shoulder straps or load lifters adjusted when I did this, they were all undone. When I did my load lifters the hip belt did go down ever so slightly but not enough for it to be where I want it. Should hopefully last me the next 2 expeditions but if anyone has some advice or tips that would help so so much.
oh yeah thought I would mention this. it's at that height where it's on max tightness and it still isn't how I want it to feel like. that's probably because I prefer my hip belt directly on my hips and super tight tho.
