The Adjust-A-Cant waistbelt adjustment allows the user to change the waist belt angle to fit. The Gregory Whitney features a thermoformed, segmented hipbelt with rigid plastic reinforcement wing to help transfer weight to the hips evenly. |
Side view of the Gregory Whitney shows the rigid wing support to which the padded hipbelt is attached. This reinforced frame attaches to the Adjust-A-Cant panel behind the lumbar pad. |

| The Auto-Cant shoulder harness automatically adjusts to fit the user, and provides two strap position options for torso adjustment. The sternum strap is held in place between a layer of hook and loop fastener which runs the length of the contoured shoulder straps. Load lifter straps at the top of the shoulder straps help adjust the position of the pack relative to the user. | The photo above shows a detailed view of the Auto-Cant rigid wing support. This system allows the user to adjust the angle of the hipbelt to one of three positions. This is achieved by removing the two brass bolts (indicated by the red arrows), rotating the rigid wing around the pivot point (yellow arrow), and then replacing the bolts through one of the other 2 hole set options (shown by green arrows). |
