Kuiu pack frame sizing

[Firebug93]

I did the measurements and I fall in the upper end of the measurement. I am 5’9” and torso of about 16.75”. Should I go with a regular or a tall?

Go with the tall. I’m 5-10 and got the medium and couldn’t get the frame to go high enough for my liking. Sent it back and got the tall, much better. You also have about 4” of adjustment so you’d be better off to go with the taller frame. Easier to make a taller frame shorter than it is to make a shorter frame taller.

This is interesting. I am also 5’9” and my torso was about 16 3/4”. I went with the regular and used all the fit videos that are out there. Load straps are about the right angle and i’ve Got room to go down with the straps if I needed. The regular fit perfectly for me. It is clear that fit will be different for everyone.

You need a regular frame. If fitted correctly, you will have plenty of lift. Lumbar pads are made to ride in the small of your back. Not on the top of your butt. That in itself will give you 3 or more inches of frame height most claim they do not get. FWIW I have an 18" torso and wear a tall frame

Sorry about the pic quality. Best I could do without getting it into the next panel of mirror and distorting the image. But, you get the idea of how the tall fits me.

Regular without a doubt. If it doesn’t fit you the way you want, send it back, but unless you are the 1% of people, the regular will fit you perfectly.

Went with the regular.

Regular has been good so far. Tall would have gotten caught on more snags

Kuiu also recommended a regular.
