I'd get measured, rather than make an assumption. I'm 6' and bought a large pack. Since found out that because I have long legs, I am much better off with a medium. It's a lot more comfortable.

Jamie, Your son will most likely take a large. The pack to purchase is determined by torso length. Underneath the pack options at the top is a link that opens a sizing chart and it gives directions on how to measure his torso. Ben: If your son is lean though a medium might be preferable. I'm 6' 4" and 180 ibs and I still have to cinch the waist belt all the way up.
