I have a short torso and this pack fits! I use it for backpacking on extended trips (I travel lite so I ussually have room to spare) or when I am coming home for college over breaks (holds everything I need for a month). The hip belt and shoulder straps come in different sizes so you can costumize you pack plus the back is easy to adjust. An added bonus, the in field repair kit comes standerd. Awsome Pack, bottom line.
Granite Gear makes a very nice women's pack! The suspension is a little difficult to get the hang of, and field adjustments would be difficult, but if you take your time it isn't so bad. The curved women's hip-belt that comes standard isn't perfect for me, but i do appreciate the rigidity and padding provided. I love the stretch fabric that saves my zippers and the loading system that let's me go from top, bottom, and side whenever i need to.
