There's a reason the Macpac Esprit 65L Pack has a system called the Freeload, and it's not because this pack'll sleep on your couch and eat all your food. This weatherproof backpack has a women's-specific design that moves weight off your butt and onto your hips. The long, flared hip-belt slides over your hips, narrow, close-together shoulder straps fit your torso, and flexible aluminum shoulder tracks stabilize your load while allowing the backpack to move with your hips. Leave the rods in a neutral position when you're scrambling up steep terrain (more weight on your shoulders for better balance) and crank the rods up into full position for weight transfer onto your hips on neutral ground.
Bottom Line: A weatherproof pack and a happy back.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Actually, it's closer to 7 pounds (6 lbs, 14 oz). While this is an extremely durable pack, and will hold up to some pretty severe conditions- there are several lighter options that have the same capacity and more. One option you may want to check out is the GoLite Odyssey at 3 lbs, 8 oz and a 5500 ci carry capacity. http://www.backcountry.com/store/GOL0316/GoLite-Odyssey-Pack

If its not on the "select options" menu for size & color, probably not. You could always go to the Live Chat option and find out more or if they will be stocking a specific item.
