I am tall. My back length is 20 inches to waist/ 23 to end of tailbone. How do I compensate? Is there another product that will work?

I'm also tall and the Dritz dress form is easy to adjust. Additionally I have a really long body and long legs so this works for me.

I'm 6'3" and do not have the seat all the way back. I think it might work for you.

The back is not adjustable. The seat is about 20" and down. However, the back is very comfortable. I have Sciatica, and 2 deteriorating Vertibrae. It works well for me. For the other man that can't get his arms or back on, You have to squeeze it real tight and stick the screws in first one then the other. DO NOT tighten all the way down till both are in.

Hard to say. I'm shorter and heavier than you, and it resolved pain in the gluts and downward.

I'm 5'6 as well and it doesn't seem like its made for someone our height. The chair curves in where it should bow out to support your lower back and so the headrest pushing your head forward.

Hmmm just did some measurements. For me, after wrapping around my leg there is about 36"-37" left to go around the waist without any stretching. A lot depends on how much you need to go around your leg. I am a tall, slim woman so bear that in mind when looking at the 36-37 inches left after wrapping the leg. The Velcro is very secure so if stretched tightly it probably won't come loose. My opinion is that is will not work...just not long enough. Probably not what you were hoping for. Sorry.

I'm 6'5 and I am able to fully extend. I have to scoot to the back of the seat but it works.

I'm 5'5", and I found this to be too long so that it impeded my gait when walking. GoFit and JFit weight vests fit my frame better.

I suggest you go to a sporting goods store and get measured. They consider more than just your height. I got measured first then purchased standard but I am 5'5". I think there are at least 3 measurements to factor in. Be safe and take the time to get measured first.

I don't know if this will help for sure, but I actually had trouble using it because I have shorter legs! Your feet might hang off the end, but you almost certainly won't have a problem in the bum-to-knee area, because that's the part that I had issues with since I have shorter or more average-length thighs.

Hi Bob, I'm about your size, and I've had back surgery. I know this question is old, but it doesn't seem to have been answered very well. I don't have this pack, but I am interested in it. The sizing issue is not as much about overall height as it is about torso length. The best thing would be to visit a specialty store that sells this kind of gear and get your torso measured...or checkout this howto: http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/backpacks-torso-hip-size.html. Getting the right sized pack is crucial when you're going to be carrying 65L worth of gear. My day pack which gets a lot of use is a Osprey Kestrel 32 with adjustable torso, at 6'4", I've got a 22" torso, the Kestrel is awesome. Hi Bob, I'm about your size, and I've had back surgery.

I'm 5'5 and it works for me. I think that would be the correct size for you. It has really helped my back.

Probably not your best tool - look up "pant assist". I'd also try some multifidus strengthening exercises for your back (check out the book Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis). Research is now finding that people with back pain have really weak multifidus muscles. Good luck!

The backs of your heels or calves rest on the rollers and the pelvis rests on the two front square pads. This length measures 30". So if a 5 ft. tall person measures at least that length from back of the heel to the hip bone - then it will work. I'm 5'8" an the roller pad rests about mid calf.

I'm 5'4", with an average-proportioned torso, and this fit perfectly fine on my back...all the pieces were a bit big for me, but I didn't notice the back feeling too tall. I found it very easy to adjust, though, and I was just so grateful for the support in the last month of pregnancy that I'm not sure I would've really noticed if it was uncomfortable!

I am 6' 3" and my tailbone sits right on top of the hinge when doing crunches with the backrest inclined. Scraped all the skin off me! Poor placement of the hinge and the seat is not long enough. I was too tall for this and returned it!

I am not sure about that, I would imagine if I was the manufacturer that I would just increase the length on the strap rather than the back pad. This would have to be a question asked directly to the manufacturer, they may have that info on their website?
