Well, I think I figured out how to get my SO frame to fit me. It hat caused back pain, even with only moderate loads, and I have stated as much on various threads. However, @roosiebull comments about trying an SO again to see if he could work out fitment got me wondering if I should try it again before selling.
Basically, I moved the frome to the second row of grommets on the belt as looking at a side profile in the mirror I noticed the lumbar curve of the frame was sitting too high. This fixed my problem. I was using a lumbar pad and the extra frame stay. Now it comfortably carries 60 pounds without either.
I will give it a shot with 120 pounds at some point. If it carries that well, I will use it in the field more. Looks like I may not have an excuse to try an SG Terminus this year.
@Kevin_t sorry for having reported an apparent user error as your product not fitting my body.
