How to set the Torso Length for the White Mountain SSS and SHS Harness System?
When measuring and adjusting the White White Mountain SSS or SHS Harness System, begin at a point on the spine level with the top of the hipbone or Iliac Crest. Measure along the curve of the spine up to the base of the neck or top of the seventh cervical vertebrae (the prominent bone or large knuckle at the base of the neck, or when bending the head backpacks, the crease of the neck). Then simply set the Torso Length indicator to that measurement. The White Mountain SSS and SHS Harness Systems incorporate an indicator on the backpack that assumes you measured along the curve of the spine and not in a straight line. The Torso Length indicator on these two harness systems incorporates the approximate 3 cm variation between measuring in a straight line, or along the curve of the spine.
