I researched on the web, I made a list of everything I needed and at the Boston Sea Rovers I finally got to try on a Transpac in my size (XS) and it fit just like I thought it would - almost. The backplate was the perfect length, it was all so adjustable, it was almost perfect.
Had cinched down the straps & tightened everything & realized that the end of the shoulder strap was cutting and putting pressure on my bust in a very uncomfortable way. Loosening/tightening the shoulder strap didn't help, going up or down a size didn't help. It was the length & angle of the stupid strap!
So now that I've found that I'm too short for the Transpac, where do I go from here? Will the Hog system work for me?
