It has nothing to do with how tall you are. You need to know your torso length then you can know what size. you can be 5'6" tall and need a large or you can be 6' tall and need a small. When you get on the trail and are doing a long trip you want the right size or you will suffer. But if you have the perfect size then you will enjoy the trip much more. It is as important as having the right size shoe.

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.
