Your torso length is most critical in sizing a backpack. To find your torso length, measure your back along the spine from the top of your hipbones to the knobby bone at the base of your neck. This will give you the proper measurement system to fit into any backpack.

You need to measure your torso (from the bas of your neck to your waistline)- but you'll probably be better off with the women's version. The pack does compact in to a day pack of sorts, but it's not the easiest thing to do and looks a bit silly. Also, having all this room (5500 ci) kind of encourages you to bring more gear than you really need, so unless you're going to use it for a week or more, it might be overkill.

This pack is for a back length of at least 17.5" so if you are in that then you could get it. They also make a women's version, so look around for that if you want. As for if you need it, it depends on what you want it for. If you want a weekend pack 2-4 days or something, then this bag is probably too big unless you pack tons of gear. But it does pack down a lot, so it is very versatile.
