Can anyone tell me why the hip belt is turned upward?<br /><br />The pack has aluminum stays (TNF x-frame construction) that shape the back panel. These rods create a small pocket in the lower back, which turns the hip belt up. Check out picture 2 above and you can see the issue.<br /><br />It seems to fit fine, but the hip belt is in a weird place. Is this to compensate for a rounder back when skiing?<br /><br />Pack is a medium - I'm 6'2, skinny with long legs - Do I need a large?<br /><br />Overall the pack seems amazing - just asking to see if anyone knows of the issue. question_61528 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 20:26:10 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/OSP0097/Osprey-Packs-Switch-36-Winter-Pack-2000-2400cu-in.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_61378#question_61378 Osprey Packs Switch 36 Winter Pack - 2000-2400cu in<br /><br />What sizes does the Osprey Switch 36 come in? question_61378 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:59:43 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/LWA0034/Lowe-Alpine-Fall-Line-35-Backpack-2100cu-in.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_60648#question_60648 Lowe Alpine Fall Line 35 Backpack - 2100cu in<br /><br />what is the length of the pack?
