What is the average amount of weight that is carried in a pack of this size? I am 6 ft. 150 pds., but because I have a back injury, I doubt that I could handle a pack of this size. How stable is it when fully loaded and strapped in? I find that the larger the pack and the greater the weight the more important it is to have wider and thicker shoulder and waist belts.

Osprey packs can handle just about anything, it's all about what you can handle safely. This bag will easily carry a 60-80lb load, but I'd suggest lower than the lower end of that scale considering your frame and back issues. The weight will be distributed evenly and as comfortably as possible with the design of this pack, I'd just test the waters and see what you can carry comfortably and use that for a reference before going out and purchasing such a large scale item. They have it in smaller cu in sizes.

I work as a mountain guide in New Mexico and Colorado and we recommend that no one carry over 1/3 of their body weight. This puts excess strain on the spine and can cause it to compress on extended (over a week) trips.

average is different for every person but this pack could handle 50-60lbs. Osprey makes good packs so it will be stable.
