I'm 6ft., 180lbs with about an 18"torso. Trying to decide between the Argon 70 and 85. I'm thinking a medium will work but can I get the 70 in a L with a medium suspension to increase the capacity. Just not sure I need to go from 4300cu.in. to 5100. Wish they made an 80. Also what is the differences in the 70 and 85 other than the obviuos capacity. Is the suspension and the pocket configuration exactly the same.

I'm fairly certain the sizes, in all of the models, are all dependent on torso length. I think this means you would still need a medium size 70L to fit your torso properly. If you need the extra capacity, get the 85; it's the exact same pack as the 70; just a larger packbag.
