I have an 18-19 inch torso lenghth regarding the suspension system, which size pack (S; M; L) is aproipriate for me in this pack? I would rather have one that is a slight bit too short than one that is a slight bit too long. I am guessing either the S or the M.

A medium pack ranges from a 18.5" - 21.5" torso length (depending on the manufacturer). If you are a solid 19", then a medium would be your fit -- across the board of manufacturers. Also, for others, if you find yourself a solid 21" torso, then going with a large could be the best way to go. Most packs have a cutoff of 21" - 21.5" (again, depending on manufacturer). You should get fitted by a professional, if you are at an "in between size". I am a 21" torso, and am using a large pack. Don't use my example as gospel though, you really should be fitted before buying any pack online.
