Proper fitting of your Kelty Coyote backpack is crucial for comfort and load distribution. The Fit-Pro adjustment system allows for personalized torso and hipbelt settings.

The Fit-Pro system enables quick and easy adjustment of the torso length. This can be done on the fly to optimize comfort, especially when shedding layers or transferring the pack to another user.

To adjust, loosen the straps connecting the shoulder harness to the main pack body. Slide the shoulder harness up or down along the internal frame until it aligns with your torso length. Secure the straps firmly once the desired fit is achieved.

3.2 Hipbelt Adjustment

The padded hipbelt is designed to transfer the majority of the pack's weight to your hips, reducing strain on your shoulders. Ensure the hipbelt sits comfortably over your iliac crest (hip bones).

Fasten the large buckle clip across your waist and tighten the straps until the pack feels secure and the weight is evenly distributed. The hipbelt features pockets for convenient access to small items.

3.3 Shoulder Straps and Sternum Strap

Adjust the shoulder straps so they conform to your shoulders without excessive gaps or pressure points. The sternum strap, located across your chest, helps stabilize the shoulder straps and can be adjusted for height and tension.
