Izzi, lets take a few steps back. How many days trip do you need this for? What type of packing are you doing? Have you actually had your torso measured from a pro shop? And at 110lbs are you planning on carrying 1/2 to 3/4 your own body weight? This pack & size is designed to carry 50-100lbs for even multiple weeks packing. I just hate to see people buy the product, that is not best for the need. These packs are amazing (all Ac2 packs), but get what's best for you and usage! Also, I would highly recommend looking into women specific packs! Especially if you have typical female body shape(hips, etc...). Also, please go try it on with similar weight that you will be carrying (same goes for boots too!) For at least 15 minutes, if not 30-45. These are some safe guidelines to go by. I hope you find this helpful, its at least long.

Hi izzi, based on the arcteryx site, the naos 85 follows a unisex sizing guide. If you do you have 15.5" torso, you may have a problem with this back, the naos starts at a 16" torso, here is the chart, make sure you are looking at the one appropriate for the naos 85 (which i believe is the top one) http://www.arcteryx.com/sizing-chart.aspx?EN/pack-sizing-chart

If your a man then probably won't be as comfortable as on a woman's body...
