1. Cut a piece of string 18"/45.5cm
2. Hold the top to your C7 vertebrae and drop the bottom end.
3. Now feel all the way down to where string ends. It will fall either above or below your Iliac Center (essentially your love handles and where you rest your hands when you are putting your hands on your hips).
-----
PS: If the string goes past your love handles, that means your torso is
shorter than 18" = medium size pack. If the string ends before your love handles, that means your torso longer than 18" = large size pack.
The price is the same no matter which pack you get. The current market price is $485.00 and includes:
What's in the box:
+ A pack of your choice
+ A custom fitted Hip Belt
+ A set of dividers inside
+ A raincover tethered

Have you checked to see if you have QD "quick detach"?
If you've recently purchased a plate for your camera body or replaced your factory lens foot, chances are good it has a QD "quick detach" grommet. QD is going to be just as popular as Arca.
If you have a plate or lens foot from Leofoto, Really Right Stuff, Kirk Photo, Smallrig, Pro Media Gear and more, it may have QD already built in. Check to see if you have a small sliver grommet without any screw threads.
Using the QD+MOLLE hip belt connector, you can quickly and securely carry camera gear connected to Atlas Packs hip belt.
