This pack is wonderful for petit women. The padding fits comfortably around the shoulders and the wasit. The size is great and allows you to care the equipment needed without being a heavy load on your body.
This pack is a great choice. I exchanged it for one that was only top loading and I would definitely recommend going with a top/front loading pack. It makes all the difference in the world! Also very comfortable and easily adjusted. Only downfall is that the bottom is a light gray color that shows ALL the dirt I pick up along the way.
