Arc'teryx Silo 30 Backpack - 1648-1831cu in
Good for some...not for me

I love the aesthetics and even the layout of the pack...I loaded it with everything I would need for a day in the backcountry and put it on and no matter what I tried...could not get it to fit. Could be that I am a 5'9" female with a freakishly long torso...but the pre-molded back panel hit in all the wrong places for me. I really wanted to make it work but the back panel had the internal frame (which on this size pack, I don't really understand) did not make it work. Backcountry was, as always, a wonderful example of what a business should be but the pack was too heavy and too uncomfortable for me. If only they would design a pack for us tall and gangly female skiers...
