For a 5'9" 190 lbs guy, should I purchase a large, or medium size pack? Also does this pack have a frame?

Sean--no, it does not have a frame. It is very light for a 3100-3300 cu in bag, but frameless packs are not for everyone. Also, I agree with Todd, the key to a good fit is getting a proper torso measurement. At 5'9" a medium sounds about right, though...

Large! There are those out there that think GoLite sizes small.

Get someone to help you measure your torso length. Measure from the largest bump on your spine at the base of your neck down to the imaginary line at the top of your pelvis (grab your waist on your abdomen, slide your hands down until they hit the bony pelvis, the line connects the top of each side of your pelvis). Use the sizing chart. I am 6-2 and usually wear a M pack due to my 18inch torso. Interestingly, my wife, who is 5-4 and long waisted, has an 18inch torso as well even tho I am 10plus inches taller.

definitely large, i am 5'7" and have a medium- a large would be way too much for me and i think too small for you. when in doubt buy both and just return the one that doesnt fit- backcountry has a great return policy

You seem like kind of a big guy so I would recommend the large for you. It would definetely not be too big and to be on the safe side I would go large.
