Looking for a new backpack to complement your daily adventures and don’t know where to start? It’s all about proportion. Here are our tips to help you choose the best backpack for your body type.

Believe it or not, a backpack is a very personal choice. Besides its amazing features that make your life easier on the go, it should flatter your silhouette. Therefore, there is a paramount factor to consider – your body type.

A well-fitted backpack should increase your comfort, help you use less energy when carrying your stuff, and complement your outfit. So, choosing the right one starts with measuring your torso.

Easy Torso Measurement for Choosing a Backpack

What you need: a soft tape measure and a friend.

How you do it:

• Stand upright, tilt your head forward until your chin touches your chest, and feel the bump between your shoulders – that’s your C7 vertebra where the measurement of your torso starts.
• Find the middle point of your back placed between the top of your hip bones. This is where the measurement stops.
• With the help of your friend, measure the distance between the C7 vertebra and the middle of your back following the curve of your spine. That’s your torso length.

Once you know your torso length, you can order a Nordace backpack that can perfectly fit your body.
