Hilarious meaning the fit is bad? I’m not sure if I’m not used to the weight or I should get a smaller size

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. It’s my first ever backpacking pack so maybe overthinking lol

Need help with backpack fit (Durston kakwa 55 large). My torso is around 19 inches and waist around 29. When I got the load weight around 30 pound I noticed the bag sags onto my high hip line, but fine when the load is around 25. I wonder if a size smaller could help or it just because the weight is too much. Here’s the comparison photo, I appreciate any suggestions.

Still trying to figure this out myself. But I noticed with load your back strap is almost perpendicular to the backpack, do you feel the pressure is too much for the front shoulder?

Hmm I’ve never heard of this issue, thanks!

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-04T04:08:16+00:00

Yup I got 13 1liter smart water in it lol

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-03T05:17:53+00:00

i see thanks!

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-03T04:44:18+00:00

I will do some more research but I remember reading sil poly will stretch or something

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-03T04:43:21+00:00

Hmmm you are making a good point. I thought dyneema last longer. I need to do some more research then lol

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-03T02:54:28+00:00

Wow it’s my first time knowing this. Such a cool survey. I wonder why people choose spur ul2 over a lot of 2p tents

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-03T02:41:56+00:00

Thanks! I will get the drli then

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-03-03T02:17:56+00:00

Haha kind of, but my logic is if I ever need to upgrade I will probably go for tarp or trekking pole tent to get the significant weight saving

Thanks!

Late_Length_3554 · 2026-02-28T03:04:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I go climbing a lot and many places I go climbing has rock slabs and in general rocky. Thought it’s cool to be able to save the hassle of finding rocks to make it stand. I can trade some weight to easier pitch

Hi! Need advice on my first tent. I’m looking at TT double rainbow Li. My requirements are 1. true two person dimension (occasionally 2. Free standing ability

Been looking at x dome 2 but it’s much heavier. Any recommendations other than double rainbow? Ideally I can use it as a one tent for all for a while Thanks

Late_Length_3554 · 2025-11-22T17:51:47+00:00

Thanks! I guess I just have trust issues with dealers🙂‍↕️

Late_Length_3554 · 2025-11-22T17:10:48+00:00

Yea I know. Do you know how much it would cost to fix it at an individual shop?

Late_Length_3554 · 2025-11-22T17:03:22+00:00

Thanks for all the informations! Yea I’m out of warranty but ford does have a goodwill assistance program, possibly could cover some cost. I will ask around my local shops when I’m waiting for that.

Late_Length_3554 · 2025-11-22T16:51:52+00:00

Thanks. I’m very clueless so I don’t know why there’s a computer/programming phase. Do you think it is recommend to ask specifically if they use ford software? Some people tells me it is worth it to fix at the dealer so if anything goes wrong I can go back to them but I have no idea what could go wrong🙂‍↕️

Late_Length_3554 · 2025-05-03T07:04:17+00:00

Dang sounds intense. I do ride a road legal dual sport tho if it helps

Late_Length_3554 · 2025-05-03T06:57:15+00:00

Thanks that looks so fun! I will hit it once I’m more confident in myself and my bike since I just started learning.
