[pct-l] backpack solutions?

This is just a guess... but you might try unbuckling the sternum strap and
letting your pack straps ride further out toward your deltoids. If they are
cinched too close together it could be putting too much pressure on your
clavicles.


Happy trails,

Subject: [pct-l] backpack solutions?

ive been doing lots of training hikes with lots of weight in my pack.  
the day after my hikes my color bones are always tender when i touch  
them. when im out on the hike the pack feels great. fits perfect and  
i barley notice the weight on my back. im just wondering if this is  
just something i have to man up with and get used to or if i might be  
wearing it wrong. any of you have tricks or tips you can share?

my pack is an Osprey Aether and i train with around 45 lbs. most of  
the time.
