Basically, the body of the Ion changes about 2" in height between the different sizes. They shorten or lengthen the "tube" of the pack, rather than changing the circumference. I'm 6-foot even and am in the high end of the Medium range. The Small isn't even close, but the Large is just a bit big on me and hits me in the butt. If you're someone who will cut off the waist strap to safe half an ounce anyway, then any size will basically fit you. Choose based on the volume you want.
