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.

Just wanted to chime in so readers, especially beginners, understand that packs are not sized to height and weight. They are sized to torso length, and this has NOTHING to do with height and weight. Get your torso length measured by a specialist at a specialty retailer like REI. If you know your torso length, that is the truly helpful piece of information that is needed here. Thanks.

I am 5'10 and wish I had gotten the tall,but since it was a gift I'll make due with the reg. Bottom line best large pack on the market.
