Abstract
A pack may include a main compartment to extend along a back of a person wearing the pack, wherein the main compartment has a front side to extend proximate the back of the person and a rear side to extend distant the back of the person. The pack may include left and right compression panels and a main compartment cinching system. The left and right compression panels extend along the left and right sides of the person, respectively, to the rear side of the main compartment. The compartment cinching system has left and right cinch cords and left and right cinch cord retainers located along left and right sides of the person, respectively, when the pack is worn. The left or right cinch cords are pullable to concurrently compress the main compartment and cinch the left and right compression panels about a torso of the person.

A pack comprising:
- a main compartment to extend along a back of a person wearing the pack, the main compartment having a front side to extend proximate the back of the person and a rear side to extend distant the back of the person;
- left and right shoulder supports coupled to the main compartment to extend over the shoulders of the person;
- left and right chest panels extending from the left and right shoulder supports, respectively;
- left and right compression panels coupled to the left and right chest panels, respectively, and extending to along the left and right sides of the person, respectively, to the rear side of the main compartment;
- and
- a main compartment cinching system having left and right cinch cords and left and right cinch cord retainers located along left and right sides, respectively, wherein the left and right cinch cords each extend across a respective side of the main compartment a plurality of times, such that when the pack is worn, the left and right cinch cords being pullable to concurrently compress the main compartment and cinch the left and right compression panels about a torso of the person.
A pack comprising:
- a main compartment to extend along a back of a person wearing the pack, the main compartment having a front side to extend proximate the back of the person and a rear side to extend distant the back of the person;
- left and right shoulder supports coupled to the main compartment to extend over the shoulders of the person;
- left and right chest panels extending from the left and right shoulder supports to left and right sides of the main compartment, respectively;
- and
- a main compartment cinching system to draw and compress the rear side of the main compartment towards the back of the person, the main compartment cinching system comprising:
- a left cord lock secured proximate the left chest panel;
- a left cinch cord connected to the main compartment at a first location proximate the rear side of the main compartment and extending through the left cord lock and along the left chest panel;
- a right cord lock secured proximate the right chest panel;
- and
- a right cinch cord connected to the main compartment at a second location proximate the rear side of the main compartment and extending through a right cord lock and along the right chest panel;
- wherein the left cinch cord is connected to the main compartment at a third location proximate the front side above the first location and wherein the right cinch cord is connected to the main compartment at a fourth location proximate the front side above the second location.
A pack comprising:
- a main compartment to extend along a back of a person wearing the pack, the main compartment having a front side to extend proximate the back of the person and a rear side to extend distant the back of the person;
- left and right shoulder supports coupled to the main compartment to extend over the shoulders of the person;
- left and right chest panels extending from the left and right shoulder supports to left and right sides of the main compartment, respectively;
- and a main compartment cinching system to draw and compress the rear side of the main compartment towards the back of the person, the main compartment cinching system comprising:
