A backpack includes a waistbelt system with a pocket formed by a pair of longitudinally extending spaced-apart flexible straps for receiving the hipbone of the user. The pocket is formed by a pair of longitudinally extending spaced-apart flexible strap. One of the longitudinally extending horizontal straps on either side of the waistbelt system is adjustable so that each separate side of the waistbelt system can be tilted to fit users having large hips or stomachs. A pair of hip cushions are provided on the waistbelt system, one on either side, which are connected to the remainder of the waistbelt system in a manner which allows relative movement between the hip cushion and the waistbelt assembly to reduce frictional forces upon the user. A shoulder width-adjustment system includes a spring bias member and an adjustment strap which allows a pair of shoulder strap support members to be adjusted to the desired shoulder width. The backpack includes a shoulder strap system with variable-length shoulder which are adjustable relative to a buckle wherein the strap may be precisely positioned relative to the buckle with the use of an index scale with height indicating indicia thereon placed on the shoulder strap. The height indicating indicia of the system includes indicia for body height and torso height.

[ The invention claimed is:] [1.] A backpack for wearing on the back of a user comprising;a pack;a waistbelt operatively connected to the pack including two weight-bearing portions of the waistbelt which are attached to the waistbelt to define a gap between the two weight-bearing portions to create a pocket to receive the hipbone of the user to relieve pressure of the waistbelt on the hipbone, wherein the waistbelt includes a pair of longitudinally-extending, vertically spaced-apart straps, one being an upper strap and one being a lower strap, each strap having an upper and a lower side edge and further wherein the lower edge of the upper strap is attached so as to be longer than the upper edge of the upper strap and the upper edge of the lower strap is attached so as to be longer than the lower edge of the lower strap to define the pocket between the two straps.
