This is exactly my experience. I do always adjust my backpack during the walk like in the video. I prefer to carry the weight on my shoulders only when I go uphill so I always loosen the hip belt. Btw Kajka and Keb backpacks sit very well on my back and I have no pain after really long walks.
i have the same experience as well. kajka is a really good backpack for heavy loads and long walks. and it doesn't matter if you are tall or short person it fits very well.
One issue I've encountered with trousers is inaccuracies in the waist size, sometimes varying by as much as 10cm. This has led me to abandon online purchases altogether; instead, I prefer to try them on in-store.
Alternating the load between the hips and shoulders, hmm, interesting. I guess I do this to some extent, but I do tend to keep 70-80% on the hip belt over all. May be weight dependent though, so cheers. :)
You're not 'meant' to re-adjust every 30-mins. That maybe works for him, but not for me. Once the pack is correctly positioned on my back at the very start, then it remains in place until I reach my destination, regardless of kg load, time taken, or steepness of mountain. To constantly be adjusting straps while trekking screams to me that the carrier is either unfit in core strength, or that the harness system wasn't adjusted correctly in the first place.
Hello I have a question. I'm 1.86 tall guy. That Backpack do I need to buy. Like from 48 lt. Up to 68 lt. Because I need to now that Backpack its good to me. Thanks.
@@f50koenigg no, i didn’t. After intensive research i found multiple people claiming that it isn’t very rainproof after all because the DWR isn’t holding up as promised. There is also multiple people saying the zipper is breaking. So no. I instead purchased the Norrøna Lofoten Gore-tex Pro jacket. It is beyond great :)
Once I've fully adjusted the backpack, I leave it in place and don't constantly fiddle around with shoulder or waist straps during a long trek or mountain climb. Often I'm carrying 20-30kg+ loads, and certainly don't want to be frequently moving weight from hips to shoulders. A correctly packed bag should always sit tight to your back and never 'hang' away from the fulcrum of an upright position. If your shoulders or waist become uncomfortable or tired then it is either because your pack wasn't correctly adjusted at the start of the trek, or because your inner core strength is not up to the job. In other words... you're a wimp. 😉
extremely helpful knowing my constant adjustments as I hike are essential and not just me having an ill-fitting backpack. thanks.
Thanks for the tip. I thought I was crazy for keeping adjusting my pack because I either had problems around the hip or around the shoulder.

Thanks for this video, will give it a try. Can you tell us what shell you're wearing? It looks very cool.
Hey Andrew! It’s the Keb eco-shell jacket. Have a great day! / Lucas
Good information! Which model of jacket is that?
Keb Eco-Shell
Great video . Happy trails
Which pack were you using? The Keb. 72 or 52?
It is the 52L
I never knew you were supposed to re-adjust every 1/2 hr I used to trek in the same position the whole time
