Hello,

I just picked up a Patagonia Catalyst daypack, and it's really my first well-fitting smaller pack. I've got all my suspensions dialed-in on my larger packs, but I'm wondering exactly how this one should fit.
It's a smaller (1500 C.I.) daypack that has no torso adjustments, but does have an auto-fit, split webbing hipbelt. Well, the hipbelt, when buckled, sits an inch above my belly-button, far above what I'm used to. I can only assume this is how it's supposed to fit, as being a daypack of that size just prevents such a long pack length. Still though, it feels kinda weird...kinda like I'd imagine a monkey might feel clung to my back; secure, but strange at first.
My torso length is just under 19" and I'd blow over in a stiff wind, so I don't expect much weight transfer to my hips, but I'm just wondering if this is how the pack is supposed to fit. I guess my question is, how do all of your daypacks fit?
