Nor are body types. The rise in the back - do you have a curvy lumbar so the top of the belt would hit above your lumbar before the lower part bears?

Here's a bone-in moose hind weighing too much strapped to my dana terraframe frame. The photo was taken after a 3/4 mile 400' drop to the river (the fourth load that day), and the pack is settled in. Dana put just (barely) enough frame curve in to suit my shape well.



Looking at the subject pack frame, I don't think there's enough (any?) frame curvature sufficient for the center of the back of the waistbelt to contact my lumbar. That frame would high-center on my erectors. Maybe the frame will flex into contact.

Bushcraft is right on the compression straps. Dana angled the two on my terraframe downward about 30degrees. I'm not sure this is functionally a big deal. If the strap anchors are solid, you could really crank down on the straps and maybe they wouldn't slump too much.
