Okay, from your description it sounds like I'm doing it wrong. As above I have been trying to tighten up the waist straps (so that the weight is on my hips, rather than shoulders - the hiking pack method) and keep the shoulder straps fairly loose.
I'll try with the shoulder straps really tight instead and the waist slightly looser, so that the weight is all on my shoulders. The pack itself is great, it's just getting it to fit my body that's the problem
