Arc'teryx Needle 65 Backpack - 3722-3966cu in
A Great Pack

This pack fits very well. I have a trim build and often feel like my pack is wider than I am, no problem with the Needle. It is also very comfortable. The padding is a good medium, not too squishy so there isn't enough support but not too firm so it feels like being strapped to some 2x4's. It is super durable and very water resistant. I can load it up for a week and feel comfortable carrying it. All in all a great pack.
