GENERAL INFORMATION
1. MAIN BENEFITS
We seek to design the best-possible solutions for mountain enthusiasts based on our philosophy of creating strong & light products. We understand our users’ needs and provides the right features and benefits
for them to enjoy their adventures:
STRENGTH & DURABILITY
Our design team carefully analyses the exact functions of each part of a backpack to define performance requirements, select an optimum combination of materials and engineer the strongest gear
for the longest use.
LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
Our sophisticated design solutions use the best
materials to minimize weight. Lightweight fabrics,
buckles, straps and accessories also help keep
weight down.
VENTILATION
Sweating cools down the body via evaporation.
Conventional backpacks stop this happening as
their back panels prevent the ventilation sweat
requires to evaporate. The wet back panels mean
you get chilled. All SALEWA backpack back panels
are designed to ensure good ventilation.
2. CARRYING SYSTEMS
SALEWA has two different carrying systems.
Depending on size and area of use, its backpacks
are equipped with an DRY BACK AIR or a DRY BACK
CONTACT system. Our DRY BACK AIR system maximizes ventilation and minimizes the backpack
surface in contact with the body; the DRY BACK
CONTACT system keeps the load barycentre of the
backpack close to the body for maximum control on
ascents and provides good ventilation through its
air channels.

GENERAL INFORMATION
3. ADJUSTING YOUR BACKPACK
HOW TO GET THE BEST FIT:
1. Loosen all straps (shoulder straps, load control
straps, waist belt, compression straps) before
you load the pack.
2. If your backpack has a back regulation system,
follow the instructions in the table to identify
your torso length and set the correct back length.
3. Pull in the waist belt so that it sits just above
the pelvis. Make sure that your iliac crest is
centred between the waist belt padding. Close
the buckles. Secure the loose ends of the straps.
4. Tighten (but don’t overtighten) the shoulder
straps until the carrying system meets the back.

LENGTH SIZE
SHORT
The attachment point of the shoulder straps
should be about one inch below the seventh
vertebra (C7). If necessary, readjust the back
length.
5. If your pack has them, tighten the load control
straps at the top of the shoulder straps.
6. Close and adjust the length of the chest (sternum)
strap, and make sure it sits at the right height (at
your sternum). A snug fit will help stabilise the
pack. Take care not to create pressure points.
7. Check the load control straps again and ensure
that your shoulder straps fit snugly around your
shoulders.

4. PACKING YOUR BACKPACK
We recommend that you never pack more than 70%
of your pack’s volume. The extra room will come
in useful if you have to unpack the contents and
quickly pack them again.
• Space is limited, so it makes sense to pack
systematically. This also makes your pack easier
to carry. We recommend packing as follows:
store lighter items, such as your sleeping bag
and reserve clothes at the bottom; keep heavy
items such as your cooking equipment or tent in
the area of your upper back.
• Store valuable item such as documents, money,
keys etc. in the dedicated pocket.
• Pack items you want close to hand at the top or
in outside pockets: extra clothing, water bottle,
maps, compass, snacks, etc.
• Fasten longer items, such as tent poles or
trekking poles, to the side of the pack using the
compression straps – and store the loose ends
away in the side pockets. If required, large and
bulky items (sleeping mat, tent, etc.) can be
attached on the outside using compression
straps.
• Store your cooking equipment, food, spare
clothing and other items in the main
compartment. Keep your most frequently used
gear close to the top. Less frequently used kit
(e.g. bivouac sack) can stay at the bottom.
• The separate bottom compartment is meant for
your lighter items, such as your sleeping bag or
spare base layers.

Backpacks do not need much care and maintenance. Stains can be cleaned off with water. Lubricate the zippers occasionally with silicone or oil.
Although, if you use your pack in dusty areas, don’t
use silicone or oil as they attract dust. If your zippers stick, clean them with an old toothbrush.
