I'm 5'10" on a good day. My torso measured is 18.5". I can't find the M/L for sale anywhere. I also can't find the proper sizing chart for this pack. Following the sizing for other packs it seems like the S/M might be a better fit anyway. Any feedback would be wonderful.
Thanks.
a few small improvements needed

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Pros:
This is a very comfortable pack. The shoulder straps are well padded without being too bulky. The ventilated straps seem like a good idea.
The embossed top pocket gets a lot of use, whether it?s to hold my Garmin 500 before a ride, compact camera, or sunglasses. The material is supposed to be safe for these surfaces.
The area zip divider separates stinky and dirty items.
For a smaller pack, the fact that it has an adjustable yoke is a big bonus. Added with the two torso sizes, it?s easy to achieve a very comfortable fit.
The whistle chest strap buckle is a thoughtful feature.
Cons:
One area where the pack could be improved are the side pocket compression straps. They don?t really do the job well of holding anything down. They are too low and thus don?t wrap around the neck of an MSR fuel bottle (maybe the really small one) or water bottle. They will bounce out.
The chest pocket will hold an iphone (maybe not the taller 5) or other similar sized smart phone as long as there is no protective jacket. If you use one, it will not fit. It does however work well for holding a gel flask.
Elastic cord on face would also be great for attaching a lightweight jacket or long sleeve jersey when temps rise. The netting isn?t very large and doesn?t expand enough.
Hip pockets could be a little bigger. Maybe they are on the large, but mine (s/m) basically hold a small headlamp, my mini Griptilian knife, emergency fire starter and gel pack. Not being big enough to fit a small camera or GPS (eTrex size) is my main gripe.
Other than that, I really enjoy using this pack. A large chunk of its use is as a commuter pack. But I also love it just as much on day hikes or overnight trips. The tool organization pouch with pump sleeve is great, and for those with a Raptor series pack, is the same setup. My purpose for buying this pack was for someovernight bike packing and I really look forward to testing it out in that situation.

Cool and comfy!!!

I'm the type who doesn't just make a purchase at this price point without doing a bit of research fist. I live in south Florida and it begins to get very hot and humid during the summer months and I ride daily. I received a Kelty Redwing 44 as a Christmas gift due to old pack falling apart. It's a nice pack for hiking, and an occasional bike ride but not every day use.
So I started looking into Osprey as I had seen all the testimonials here and other sites, I became interested. Initially, I thought the momentum was for me, daily commutes, additional zip out storage if needed, etc. Then I pulled the trigger on the Escapist 30, after many weeks of phone conversations and online investigative work.
The ventilated harness was just what I had in mind as well as the airscape backpanel. I find that I can carry just about everything I need on a daily basis in this pack. If its a change of clothes for after work or a beach towel, lunch and drink for the beach.
This pack is very comfortable, and keeps my shirts from soaking thru after somewhat aggressive rides. This is my first Osprey pack and must say I am very happy with the purchase. From the reflective highlights, front and back, to the way it conforms to my back. I really appreciate the way you can adjust the harness within the pack itself, it allows a very tailored fit between shoulder and hips.
This is not a cheap pack by any stretch, but I felt assured that backcountry stands behind the products they test. And I'm so pleased with the tech support and service I received I'm confident I will turn to them when my next need comes up!!
Perfection!!!

I got this pack for day hikes and biking and its perfect size for my needs. I wanted a pack I could fit a sleeping bag and a lightweight tent in for an overnight hike and this pack can do it. I am 150# and 5' 10" athletic build and got the M/L and on the smallest setting it seems to be right where it needs to for a comfortable fit. I can't say enough for this pack it is one of the most feature loaded day packs I have ever seen and without the weight. This pack is plenty big for me to take on a weekend hike and will fit all my gear no problem, keep in mind its all ultralight gear though. Osprey out did themselves on this pack; I love the sleeping bag compartment because I can unzip the panel between it and the main compartment and my tent fits great in the bag. This pack also has a fantastic high visibility rain cover built into a compartment on the bottom of the bag.
