Gregory Palisade 80 Backpack - 4699-5370cu in
Hauls it all...

Ranked #7 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)
October 24, 2009
I have had this pack for one year now and love it more and more with each trip. It is a bit large for a weekend hike, but still does the job. I have done an 8 night hike with this pack and had enough room for the trip. Gregory makes a fantastic product. I have the medium and am 6 ft & 185Lbs. and it fits great. I have had up to 55 Lbs in my pack and never felt like it was not carrying right on my back. If you need a great pack for a week long hike and want something that will last, buy this pack. I bought my last Gregory pack in 1989 and it is still in great shape.

I'm with Jeff. A medium would probably be best. I'm 6'3" and a Large is almost too large for me.

I would think medium, but double check on the Gregory site. Look at the size chart. Have fun...
