Here is an in-depth sizing video with instructions for taking your required measurements. See below for sizing charts.

Torso Sizing

Pack sizing is based on torso length and not height. If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Small: 14.5"-17"

Medium: 17"-19.5"

Large: 19.5"-22"

Tall: 22"-24.5"

Hipbelt Sizing

Hipbelt sizes are based on waist measurements. Measure your waist where it is most narrow, above your hips, or wherever you would like your hipbelt to sit. We recommend erring on the larger size when choosing a belt, so more padding will wrap around your waist. However, make sure your waist measurement is no smaller than the minimum circumference listed.

X-Small: recommended for waists between 25"-28.75" (length of padded portion: 22.75”; adjustable range 25”-35”)

The Sundown fits within carry-on sizing requirements while flying. When not fully packed, it may also be used as an under-the-seat personal item.

The maximum load we recommend carrying is approximately 30-32 pounds. This rating based on comfort, and can vary depending on body build. Structurally the pack is able to handle heavier loads, but we do not recommend loading over 40 pounds frequently or for extended periods of time.
