Gossamer gear Skala 38 Ultralight backpack

Size & Fit

 Skala 38 is available in one size and although this backpack works for a wide range of body sizes, it is best suited for a torso between 18" - 21" (approx 46-53 cm).

Torso length:

Start at the C7 vertebra at the base of your neck. The best way to find this is to bend your neck and feel for the first bump along the base of your neck. This bump is where you want to start your measurement.

The next step is to find the center point between your iliac crests. To find your iliac crest, place your hands around your hip bones on both sides and locate the midpoint of your spine. This center point is where your thumbs should point.

Finally, you'll need help measuring from the C7 vertebra down to your iliac crest. From there you will get your torso measurement.
