Great Pack

I'm a small person (5'4", 105 lbs)and this pack fit me very well. Just took it on a 3-day trip loaded with fishing and camping gear and it handled it all. Very comfortable. When considering my purchase, I was balancing capacity for the kind of trips I had planned with a tendancy to overpack and my ability to carry the load. I have an 8-day wilderness trip planned; that will give it (and me!)the test. Only wish it had more side pockets. The stretchy dual-access pockets are nice, but stuff could fall out and I'd like at least one good-sized zippered pocket. The removal top has great storage and can be used as a fannypack. Nice roomy sleeping bag compartment; I put my big, warm bag in a compression sack and was able to get it in the compartment. I'd recommend this pack to any serious woman hiker.

Which size did you get. You sound about the same size as my wife and I'm trying to surprise her with one.
