Purchaed this to replace my 12yo+ Gregory Wind River. At 5'11" 240lb, I purchased the Medium as my torso length dictated. Another review metioned purchasing a medium belt on large bag, not sure this will work when it comes to fitting the shoulder straps properly. even with my shorter torso and selecting the medium pack, shoulder straps still have some gaps after lowering to the lowest position. this is a minor point for me. the pack works very well! a recent multi day solo trip to Dolly Sods Wilderness (day time temps, mid 20s) showed this pack to be a capable piece. holds all my winter gear except for the extra ridgerest I bring on extreme cold days, this lashed to the outside easily. the trip consisted of easy rolling mountain top travel wth several stream crossings. the crossings require some nimble rock hopping, the pack was extremely well balanced for this aspect. the winter load being hauled was hardly noticed. there isnt an over abundance of bells and whistles on this piece which I appreciate, just a good solid pack. as with most backcountry gear, make sure you size it properly.
