I am only 5' and finding a backpack that fits is not an easy task. This one is perfect - and it is a beautiful shade of PURPLE! Yahoo! We are doing a awesome hike between camps in the Sierras this summer, so I needed something that was bigger than my regular "go out and hike for the day" pack, but do not need to carry a tent and sleeping bag. I love the little zippered pouches in the hip belt - they are perfect for my chapstick, sport beans, Aleve, etc.! Oh, and did I mention it is PURPLE! This bag may be one of the best investments I have ever made! I use it for everything. It was originally purchased three years ago as a day pack for our hike of the Inca Trail in Peru. I did a lot of research and determined that this would be the best solution. We needed a pack large enough to carry gear for the day and any type of weather. We were not carrying tents or sleeping bags, so we needed a bit less space. My husband was so impressed when it arrived, that he purchased the exact same bag in a large. Since it's first successful outing, this bag has been our go-to bag for any and all trips. We've taken it on airplane flights stuffed full of our daughter's blankets, toys and DVD player with enough room for our books and light sweaters. It's gone on car trips packed with clothes and toys. It's gone on day hikes and picnics with food and blankets. It went to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro stuffed with 3 liters of water, jackets, rain gear, snacks etc. It is a roomy size for a daypack and large enough for a weekend overnighter. The pull tabs are nice as they have rings you can grab even with thick gloves on. The storage pocket on top is great for keys, passports and other items you need in a hurry. The front pocket holds travel folders, books, snacks and sweaters with ease. The drink pockets on the side, like most packs, are useless for water bottles if you are hiking. They fit in, but are difficult to squeeze in if you have the straps down tight and require you to take off your pack to get them back in. They are great for an extra water bottle (as camelbak backup) or for storing snacks, Goo shots, pocket translators, etc. The hip belt is comfy and has never dug uncomfortably into my hip bones. If you tighten the chest strap too tight, it pulls the top straps a bit too close and can rub your clavicals, but keep it loose enough and it is fine. The two hip pockets are super convenient for chapstick, money, candy, etc and are suprisingly large. The load straps are easy to adjust and keep loads (light and heavy) well balanced. It hugs my back and stays put, but also has a very nice air gap that prevents too much sweat. I recommend this bag to anyone and everyone - you will not be disappointed! I ordered this pack for a trip to Peru and a few other excursions planned for the summer. I haven't even had the chance to use it yet besides simple packing up and day hikes, and small overnighters. I love it. It fits me perfectly. (5'2" 102-112lbs). I prefer things hip things well below my belly button and I have a long torso 21"..so this was exactly what i wanted! I had to order a rain cover to go along with the pack. Plenty of space for 4 large pillows stuffed into it.
