My girlfriend already got me the pack, so it's in hand, but I have one major question... Can anyone tell me why the hip belt is turned upward?The pack has aluminum stays (TNF x-frame construction) that shape the back panel. These rods create a small pocket in the lower back, which turns the hip belt up. Check out picture 2 above and you can see the issue.It seems to fit fine, but the hip belt is in a weird place. Is this to compensate for a rounder back when skiing?Pack is a medium - I'm 6'2, skinny with long legs - Do I need a large?Overall the pack seems amazing - just asking to see if anyone knows of the issue.

Seeing as its a prett long pack, I would say it is turned upwards so it doesnt buckle around your 'boys' and instead buckles in front of your waist.Medium is probably fine for you. Depends on how much storage capacity you want.
