ULA Equipment Camino 54L Travel Hiking Pack
S Straps vs J Straps? Torso size? Follow this helpful guide to get the best fit.
1. TORSO FIT
- Standing upright, tilt your chin to your chest.
- Locate your C7 Vertebra - the large lump at the base of your neck.
- With flexible tape, measure down the length and natural curvature of your spine to your iliac crest/the top of your hipbone.
- This measurement in inches is your torso length.
TIP: If you're between 2 sizes, order the smaller size.
2. TORSO CHART
| Pack Size | Torso Size | Hiker's Height |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 15-18in | Under 5'6" |
| Medium | 18-21in | 5'6"-6'0" |
| Large | 21-24in | 5'10"-6'4" |
| X-Large | +24in | Over 6'4" |
| Kid's | 12-18in | Kid [Under 5'4"] |
We've found most people in these height ranges fall into these torso/pack sizes. That being said, it is always best to measure your torso using the guide above.
3. HIPBELT FIT
Use the following method to determine your hipbelt inches, then head to Step 4 to see the hipbelt size you need.
MEN
Pant Waist Size + 2".
WOMEN
CURVY HIPS: Smallest part of your waist + 5".
STRAIGHT HIPS: Smallest part of your waist + 3".
KIDS
Smallest Part of waist + 2".
4. HIPBELT SIZE CHART
| Hipbelt Size | Measurements |
|---|---|
| XX-Small | 18-26in |
| X-Small | 26-30in |
| Small | 30-34in |
| Medium | 34-38in |
| Large | 38-42in |
| X-Large | 42-47in |
| XX-Large | +47in |
Find the hipbelt measurement you calculated in Step 3 on the chart. That will be your hipbelt size.
TIP: If you are on the outer edge of a size, order the larger size. [ Ex: If you are 38", you will notice 38" is the last number of the Medium Hipbelt and the first number of the Large Hipbelt. You would want to order a Large.]
5. SHOULDER STRAPS
The downward slope of your shoulder profile usually determines strap preference. You can assess your shoulder slope profile by looking in a mirror or having a friend look at the angle of your shoulder from the base of your neck to your shoulder point.
If there is relatively little or no downward slope, you have what is referred to as flat or squared shoulders.
If there is a noticeable downward slope, you have what is referred to as standard or sloping shoulders.
J STRAPS
J-straps are the traditional straight straps. They are best suited for people with flat or square shoulders, as their flat shape provides better surface contact and less rub.
S STRAPS
S-straps contour body curves. They are best suited for people with standard or sloping shoulders, as their contoured shape better hugs your shoulder slope.
TIP: If you have a short torso but a larger upper body, you may need a slightly longer strap. If you are very large in the upper body, you might need XL shoulder straps. Contact us, and we would be happy to make these customisations so your pack is comfortable and fits well.
Meet the ULA Camino, the most versatile panel loader on the market today. Designed to meet standard (US) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for carry-on luggage, the Camino measures 22" x 13" x 8.25" | 56cm x 33cm x 21cm with the extension collar rolled down. It may be compact, but it’s still large enough to fit all your gear for an extended hike easily — heck, it will even hold a bear canister horizontally. Made of 100% 400 Denier Black Diamond Robic fabric with dual aluminum stays, the Camino is tough enough to survive even the most aggressive baggage handler. Yet, it weighs in at only 47 oz!
Built to be as comfortable on the road or the trail as the Catalyst, the Camino features the same internal twin stay framesheet, shoulder straps, hipbelt, roll-top closure, and side pockets you know and love. Side compression straps keep your kit tight, while bottom straps offer convenient storage and easy access for a jacket or sleeping pad. The front panel loader has an internal zippered split-pocket to keep your essentials organized and easily accessible. Internal retention straps hold everything in place. And a new, internal stretch mesh laptop pocket keeps your tech where it should be.
Whether you’re hopping trains and chicken buses or hiking the Camino de Santiago, staying in a hostel, or out in your tent, the Camino has you covered from airplane to adventure and home again.
From airport to trail, the Camino is the most versatile panel loader on the market today. Designed to meet most airline carry-on specs, yet big enough to carry a bear canister horizontally.
