Couldn't be happier!

I have taken this pack on several overnight trips in the cascades and love it. Lightweight and a great waist strap that doesn't dig in. I am 5' 11" about 160lbs. The waist strap is a little big but with it cinched all the way down it fits great. I usually line my pack with a 4mil construction garbage bag for our rainy cascade weather but so far I have not seen any moisture in the bag...even in the most torrential downpours.
Buy this pack...you won't be disappointed.

I am also 5'11" and 160. Did you get the "regular" size?
