You know those thingies you put your feet into to determine your shoe size? Well, they don't make those for finding your best Hurley Backpacks size. You've got to do a little measuring for yourself. Measure Your Torso & Hips Using a tailor's tape or other flexible tape, record these two measurements before shopping for a pack. If you don't have a flexible tape, you can use a piece of yarn or cord instead, then lay the marked length of yarn on a tape measure to determine the length. Torso: This is the length from the prominent bump at the base of your neck - the C7 vertebra - to the center point on your spine between the tops of your hip bones. Find the top of your hip bones by running your hands down your sides until you first meet your hips at the iliac crest, then envision an imaginary line between your thumbs at the top of your hips along your back. Hips/ Hip Belt: This measure obtains the girth of your hips. Measure around your body, one inch lower than the iliac crest (the top of the hip bones). This measure is less important than torso length, since most hip belts adjust to accommodate a wide range of users.

Top-loading Hurley Backpacks , which usually have a drawstring on top and a protective flap over the opening, are generally lighter and designed to stuff without spilling. Front-loading Hurley Backpacks, which have a zip running down the front of the pack, allow easier gear access. Some packs combine to offer both top and front loading options.
