I am willing to bet that your torso measurement would be a medium and your hip/waist measurement is a small. I am 5'9" 170# and own the 70L version of this pack in medium. It fits my frame well, but with a 30-32" waist the hip belt nearly runs out of inward adjustment. Im gathering that you are pretty skinny, and therefore suggest (contacting Osprey to confirm my statement would not be a terrible idea) getting the pack in medium and then if needed replace the hip belt with a small. (the hip belt and the shoulder straps actually are velcroed in place allowing for some adjustments too)

Kellen, like John said, check the sizing chart to the right. Packs like these are sized on the length of your back and the circumference of your hips rather than your total height and weight.
