Looking for a little advice from the collective...
So I have really high bitchly hips and have been struggling with packs.
The top of my hipbone is approx 4" above my waistline and waist belts usually end up over my navel or slightly higher when fitting the waist pads as per usual over my hip bones. Under load I can't seem to get a good solid amount of weight transfered to the hips. Lumber pad rides a lot higher in the small of the back as a result. This is with various packs and various adjustment range on them all. (6'3" 180-190#, 34" waist and the only "love handles" are high hip bones)
I would really like to purchase a kifaru hunting duplex but would there be better options out there?
Was thinking possibly a custom taller hip belt if this was even possible to find a vendor that would do so.
Thanks in advance.
