This is the Kakwa medium. I’d say it fits like how it is supposed to fit; except for the hipbelt padding that does not actually cover my hipbones. My fault; for liking the sage with the s/m hipbelt more.

However, when walking with it (10-11 kg); I feel it poking at my bum. Never had that problem with my much heavier osprey ariel. It got slightly annoying.

Am i doing something wrong? Does that just happen with ultra light backpacks? Just a side effect of having a big bum? Would a extra lumbar pad help with this? I live in Europe; can’t order the zpacks lumbar pad easily.

Love to hear if any other people had this problem and if there are any solutions
