You know, Ian, pack size is about torso length, not how tall you are. So, do this: Get someone to measure you from the bump on the back of your neck (the C-7 vertebrae. It protudes when you bend your head down.). Once you locate it, then put your head up, and draw a line down your spine to measure. The "end point" will be above your butt. Specifically, take your thumbs and put them on your side, locating the TOP of your hipbone. This is called the "crest." Literally, I want your thumbs on the side, NOT in front of your side... Once you find the top of your hipbones, in the same lateral line, come around to your spine. THAT'S the end point. Make sense? Measure that distance from your C-7 vertebrae to that bottom point that you just identified. Then, Ospreypacks.com gives you the sizing on their website. My guess is that at 5'1", you are probably a small, but the official way to find out is to do what I listed above. Hope thyat helps!

I'm 5'11 and I have a medium pack so i'd go with a small. Packs are just like shoes, a size 10 in different brands may fit you differently. Your best bet is too find one at a store and try it on.
