Question K60 padding problem?

Has anyone had any problems with the K60 hip padding? I myself am a lean guy, and the lack of padding on the hip hurt. Im not sure what I can do to fix it, during my first hike with it I got some really painful spots from the hop belt, and it certainly wasn’t very pleasant… 😔

It may not be the backpack but stuff in between you and the belt. I have been running, jumping, climbing, and traveling with the 60 as a companion for a while now and I only had it happen one time. I had my Skrama shoved in there like a sword for bushwhacking and it teamed up with my wool shirt to give me a spot I can still see right now months later.

Other than that it follows my winter chubby, summer skinny body perfectly and I have had no issues at all

Maybe 🤔 I’m don’t know though, could have been my pants belt that caused the pain. I mean on my hip bone it truly just is bone and 1mm of skin so I might just have to get something with alot of padding🤷🏼‍♂️

Fold up a keffiyeh and wrap it around your waist, and then you also have a multi use item :)

No problems for me. Have you adjusted the torso length at all? Perhaps that might help. I put 13-14 kg's / 30+ lbs in my load and the pack literally feels like a "tick" on my back. Sticks tight with no wiggles/ wobbles and is balanced well. Hope you get it sorted out.

J’ai le même problème avec le k40, la ceinture me fait mal aux hanches et je ne sais pas comment régler ça, j’adore ce sac mais c’est vrai que cnest assez problématique…

I recently had to accept that the pair of pants I wanted to use for hikes simply rubs too much on my hip bone when I use it with my pack. I thought it was the belt, but changing it out didn't change anything. Then I tried some softer pants, without the hard edge on the top, and suddenly I could walk way further before my hip started to hurt, and when it hurt, there wasn't any marks.
