Expert Review
I'm 5'2" (with longer legs and minimal torso) and have a difficult time finding packs that fit me well. I recently went backpacking to get to a climb on Granite Peak in Montana, and I used this pack for 30 miles (trail for about 12miles) and over 10k vertical. It has hip belt pockets (helpful for snacks and phone), side pockets (I used for bear spray) and mesh back pocket (I used for easy rain gear access). I LOVE this pack!
