[pct-l] backpack solutions?

[Ellen Shopes]

You may want to look at how the weight is distributed in your pack.
Shoulder/clavicle pain is sometimes caused when the pack pulls backward.  If 
you find yourself leaning way forward with your load, this might be the 
case.
You can ask the Osprey experts how they suggest loading the pack for best 
fit.  Or you can experiment.  For me, the heaviest items need to be mid-pack 
for the best load distribution and comfort.
