Great pack! Lots of room for multi-week trips or cold weather backpacking. One of the few internal frame packs with external pockets. I had a little trouble with the waist belt slipping when new but after washing the belt with hot soapy water the problem has all but gone away.I liked this pack so well I bought my son one for Christmas.

Q.}
Do I have to get my girlfriend a women's-specific backpack if her torso size fits a men's one? Do the shoulder strap position and waist belt flare really matter and do you wear a women’s-specific backpack?

No, Miguel, you don’t necessarily have to get your girlfriend a women’s specific pack. I often wear men’s or unisex packs with great success. And I know small men who have had luck with women’s packs. Forget about the gender labels and look at the pack itself, and the way it works with your girlfriend’s body shape.
