Is there much of a difference between the 16L and 18L? I'm looking for something that allows me to occasionally toss my computer in if I need to. Will both sizes allow this or will I need to go with the 18L?

Do not decide to get S/M or a M/L based on how much volume is in the pack. The S/M, or 16L pack, is basically a shorter torso and will fit more girls best (we tend to have shorter torsos). The M/L, or 18L pack, is a longer torso and will fit most guys best (guys tend to have longer torsos). Also, the Raptor 18 style pack will not fit a ton of laptops unless you have a small laptop. If I can make a suggestion--go with the Osprey Talon 22 and get a 3L Osprey Hyrdraform reservoir. It will carry a laptop and some books AND will carry all the stuff you will bring for mountain biking very well. It is a little more versatile of a back. Hope this helps!!!

Osprey makes a Raptor 14 and an Raptor 18. Go with the 18. It also depends on the size of your computer. Thanks!

You might need to go with the 18, 16 is getting pretty small.
