This is a unisex pack,will it be comfortable for a middle sized woman, or should i prefer for example Osprey Womens Aura 35L? I mean mostly about the fitting, cause i think Womens aura looks more comfy

Well, the Aura 35 is only available overseas because we carry a much better line of smaller day pack-sized backpacks with a removed, ventilated back panel called the Sirrus. I would say that in general, the Kestral line will fit a larger range of people more comfortably as the torso length is adjustable where as the Sirrus/Aura line is fixed (so it will fit you or it won't). And YES the Kestrel line is great for a mid sized woman--any Liter size of the pack. It really depends on what you want to carry--a single overnight's amount of stuff or something smaller for a quick in-and-out day hike amount of stuff, etc... You just have to measure your torso to see what S/M/L size pack you need. Two 5'6" women will most likely have different torso length so you do need to measure that before buying your size. Both of the Sirrus's are good for mid sized ladies as well: http://www.backcountry.com/store/search.html?mv_session_id=Czf6jZcJ&aff=1&q=sirrus

The thing about backpacks is that everyone has different proportions. This pack could fit awesome, or not that great. Best thing is to try on some other Osprey unisex packs to see if they fit and feel comfortable.
