Deciding between the tioga and the Trekker: is the torso measurement basically how to decide between the two and how do you measure your torso?

I'd choose the "Tioga." It's the same weight but more versatile. 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.
