years of use and abuse. However some basic proce-
dures will ensure that your pack holds up optimally.
•• After each trip be sure to clean out your
pack thoroughly – get all your gear out,
shake the dirt out, wipe and scrub any
nasty stains with a mild detergent.
•• If it’s wet hang it to dry, out of the sun.
•• Loosen all the straps, in particular,
the load lifter strap on the harness.

location.

and hipbelt in the bathtub using a
mild detergent. Hang dry it out of

Be sure to use the internal compression andcompress the contents solidly using theexternal compression straps. You want thepack to adopt a tall, thin profile. Rememberto maintain side-to-side balance as well – a pack that leans over to one side placesexcessive pressure on your spine and irri-tates your shoulders. Also, make a point ofgetting as much gear inside the pack aspossible. Odds and ends strapped on allover the outside of the pack wreak havocwith balance, especially if they are free toswing around. Finally, the top pocket has a tendency to become the repository formany, many small items that add up to significant weight and often make the pack distinctly top-heavy – be careful.

RECURVE RODTitanium is used for our 90 and 110-litermodels and composite rods are used forthe 75 and 60-liter models. The bowedshape of the ReCurve rods provide extraload comfort and shock absorption. Thealuminum ferrules on the ends of therods allow them to rotate as you movewith your load. The center strap Aadjusts the tension on the rod and canalso be used to secure extra gear.
COMPRESSIONOn the inside of your pack you will notice a red internal compression strap.When you are loading your pack, movethe strap out of the way and pop out thehead cup to maximize your loadingroom. When you’ve got the pack loaded,pop the head cup back in, buckle andcrank the strap down over your load.
Your pack utilizes a 3-strap compressionsystem to ensure that your load is stableand close to your back. Adjust the straps asrequired by the load. You’ll notice two extrafemale buckles B on the right side of yourpack (ReCurve Rod photo). These allowyou to StraightJacket your pack when car-rying a very minimal load. Connect thestraps to the 2 female buckles at the edgeof the backpanel.
STAY BENDINGReach in behind the lumbar pad and pullit outward to expose the stays. Removethe hipbelt and pull the stays out. Reinsertthe stays into the hipbelt and put it on. Ifthe stays follow the contour of your back(as in the picture), then you’re all set. Ifnot you will need to bend the stays to fityour back. Hold the stays together and bendthem across your knee, to ensure an evenand smooth bend. With a little experi-mentation you’ll end up with a perfect fit!
BIOFORM HARNESS AND HIPBELTThe BioForm harness is laminated dualdensity foam for extra comfort and fit.Our tried and tested hook and loopadjustment allows up to 4” of variance ineach torso size. The BioForm hipbelt fea-tures wraparound support wings andstretched thermoformed EVA foam for adeluxe and ultra-comfortable fit. Dualstay sleeves and dual hip compressors
anchor the hipbelt to the rod sleeves andthe framesheet, ensuring excellent weighttransfer and a comfortable ride.
SIZING
Men’s harnesses and hipbelts are availablein SM, MD, LG AND XL; Women’s harness-es and hipbelts are available in XS, SM,MD and LG.
RECURVE SUSPENSION
ADJUSTMENT
Be sure to read the sizing and fittinginstructions in our catalog and on theweb. In general think of wearing yourpack in this way: you’ll adjust the suspen-sion onto your body and then you’lladjust the pack onto the suspension.
A Loosen all suspension straps and thenput the pack on and snug down the hipbelt.
B Pull the lower shoulder strap adjustersinto a comfortable position and then pullthe load lifter straps in making sure thatthe harness doesn’t rise off your shoulder
C Adjust the sternum strap up or down toa comfortable position and then clip in.
Remember your packs weight distributionand feel will change throughout your trip,just as your muscles will tire and strength-en through the trip. Therefore no adjust-ment is perfect. Don’t hesitate to adjustyour pack as much as you need. Redistri-buting your load is the key to comfort.
All Luna packs are designed and equippedwith contoured harnesses and hipbelts tobetter fit the female form.
ERGOPULL
All our padded hipbelts use our exclusiveErgoPull design. The ErgoPull createsmechanical advantage to provide extraleverage in cinching down the hipbelt.The ErgoPull design also draws tensionalong the top and bottom of the belt, notthrough the center, so it distributes pres-sure more evenly over the padding andrelieves direct pressure on the hipbones.To operate the ErgoPull, loosen the web-bing enough so you can connect the center buckle. Then grasp the loose endsof the webbing on either side, and pull
in and across with both hands at thesame time.
