For those of you that own these packs, I'm wondering what the length of the shoulder straps is. It looks like almost everything else is quite adjustable – torso length, belt size, configurations – but the shoulder strap harness is "one size". That's usually short on me, so trying to get an idea of how long they are. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Curt, if all goes well, I'll be in the PNW at the beginning of September, Seattle at first for probably a couple of months. If you're nearby, you can have a look at mine, even load it up and put it on if it's the right size, to get a feel for one in person.

Doug – that's a generous offer – thank you! I might just take you up on that. Early September will be right between a 10 day trip in the Frank Church and the beginning of archery season, so load hauling is a big interest of mine right now.

I'm tired of modifying every pack I have to force them into something they're just not meant to do. The Divide in particular seems like it will check a lot of boxes on my ideal pack list.

I'll PM you my contact info. By the way, September is the perfect month in Washington. Not sure how familiar you are with the Cascades, but if you're looking for the best-of-the-best mountain routes let me know.

Thanks again!

Curt, Seek Outside lengthened the "standard" shoulder straps I believe earlier this year. I'd give them an email or call and I'm sure they'd measure them for you.

We did lengthen them earlier in the year to the size of our "Long" . We also put the adjustment on a split bar LL , and there are some bar tacks so it can me made effectively shorter.

Thanks for the replies, Dave & Kevin. Kevin – do you know the length of the straps? Also, not sure what you mean by the LL adjustment. By the way, as long as I have you here, what's the current wait on a Divide?

Thanks!

I suspect lead time is 3 -4 weeks , maybe less. If you call, we can give a firm timeline and measurement
