Description

The Hip Belt

We highly recommend the use of a hip belt with your Sassafras Fastpack if you're carrying more substantial loads on your trips. The primary purpose of the hip belt is to improve stability, but it also helps carry some of the load if the pack contents provide enough structure.

For even more adjustment, we also offer hip stabilizers (available separately). Hip stabilizers connect your hip belt to the bottom of the rearmost panel on your pack. Tightening them helps suck in the base of the pack to your back, resulting in a more locked-in fit and increased load transfer.

A daisy chain runs along the hip belt's centerline and works with our hip belt accessories to let you customize your belt the way you like it. Currently, we offer the following accessories and plan to add more. If there's something you'd like to see, please let us know!

Feed bag
Bear spray holster
Hip stabilizers
Smart phone sleeve (in development)

As far as space goes, a safe bet is one accessory per side, though you may be able to squeeze in more on the medium and large sizes. Not using the hip stabilizers will provide more real estate as well.

Installation

To install, slip your hip belt through the hip belt sleeve on your pack and align the hook & loop strips. If using hip stabilizers, slip the non-adjustable side through your pack's side pocket and clip the g-hook to the receiving end on your pack. Then clip the adjustable g-hook to the daisy chain at an equivalent location on each side.

Sizing Information

To size your hip belt, measure your natural waist:

The distance around your torso at its narrowest point.

Bend side-to-side to see where your body creases. This should be above the hips but below the ribcage.
Measure the distance around your body at this level to determine your natural waist.

We offer three sizes as outlined below.

Size	Natural Waist measurement (inches)	Natural Waist measurement (cm)
Small	28" - 34"	71 - 86 cm
Medium	32" - 38"	82 - 97 cm
Large	36" - 41"	92 - 104 cm
