So I got a GG Aji 50 for Christmas. I love everything about the pack but best I can tell, the shoulder harness is too narrow for me. I'm 6' 215#. Maybe if I lost 20-30 pounds it'd fit but still not sure. The straps connect to the pack pretty close together behind my shoulders (literally an inch between) and the sternum strap is at it's max length. Even with 20 pounds in it, it kills my shoulders. The straps pull on my collar bones even though the weight is on my hips. The straps also slightly touch my neck. Even with the sternum strap unbuckled, the shoulder straps pull on the front of my shoulders.
Has anyone had this same problem and taken their pack to a tailor to have it modified? I can just sell it and get something that fits better but I really do like this pack.
Thanks.

That it ld be worth.returning and buying one that fits ( or have one made) with the funds .
ULA just came out with their new Panel loader,the Camino II , Its $250, US made, same weight and capacity as the Aji. And, ULA WILL provide you a harness that fits.
That and the suspension on that line of packs is rather lacking. You should just return it. The only way to make it better is to wear the pack short.
The SMD Fusion 50 on sale is a screamin deal at $105. Same weight as the Aji
And the long size they offer can be adjusted very long. You should be able to get that one dialed in to fit.
My mother in law got it for me for Xmas and whoever she got it from has a no return policy. Think it was eBay or something. So my only option is to sell it or get it altered. I was gonna use it for photography so I like that it has the four zippers and I can access the main compartment from anywhere. But I also think the best thing is to sell it. Just figured I'd ask everyone's opinion. So guess I'll be making a gear swap posting.

That's kinda the body type I figured this pack would be great for. Unfortunately it'll be a while before I'm down to that weight. I'll try selling it and getting something like the camelbak fourteener just for day hikes. I'm not equipped for winter packing anyhow.
