How to measure backpack size:

Start out by tilting your head forward and finding the bony bulge at the base of your neck. That's your C7 vertebra and the top of your torso length.

Next, find the tops of your hipbones and place your hands on your hips with your thumbs pointing towards your spine. Where your thumbs would meet in the middle of your back is the bottom of your torso length.
