Each person may choose to wear their hipbelt on
a different position on their body. The top edge
of your hip bone is called the Iliac Crest; the top
edge of the hipbelt should rest along the Iliac
Crest. The pointy front edge of your hips is called
the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine; each pad of the
hipbelt should cover your Anterior Superior Iliac
Spine.
