Arc'teryx Silo 18 Backpack - 1098cu in

Item #ARC0535 | 13 in Stock

How is this pack for taller people - I am 6'3" - I see...

How is this pack for taller people - I am 6'3" - I see there are reviews for the Miura 20 that do not recommend that model. Perhaps the Silo 18 is different in that it sits higher on the shoulders - any one had experience of this?

The Arc'teryx Silo 18 will fit a tall torso better than the Miura 20 due to strap and frame design. It's still a bit of a stretch for the Silo 18 to fit a 6'3" frame correctly. That being said, the Arc'teryx Silo 30 comes in torso lengths, so a tall size in that pack would be the best fit, and can be compressed for small loads. I've got a couple tall buddies who use the Silo 30 and love it.
