The cylinder can rest too high on the back, directly onto the spine, causing discomfort and possible back problems. The most ergonomic position is for the base of the backpack to sit comfortably into the small of your back. The element backpack and harness system extends in length by up to 100mm with 7 adjustment increments giving you a precise and comfortable fit. Once you've adjusted to your ideal backpack length, you can set it permanently with a single bolt, tightened with a 5mm Allen key.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-406-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"vg-image-widget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apdiving.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/bcd-military-commercial-commercial-comfort-fit-2-apdiving.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><div id=\"panel-406-4-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-406-4-1-1\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><h4>2.
