I got this bag as a bag so that I could have an extra bag to loan family and friends to get them on the trail with me. I normally use an Osprey Aether 70 and decided to test this pack out before I let other people use it. After a 6 mile hike with the pack on I can truely say that there is a lot going on with this pack that makes it well worth the money. The frame is easy to adjust for anybody to wear and can fit almost anybody comfortably. I didn't notice how much a change the hipbelt on this pack made until a week later when I went 8 miles with my Aether. The Versametric conforms to your twisting body on inclines perfectly and transitioned weight very well. The sack of the bag doesn't get enough credit. It will take whatever you put in it and suck it in like a black hole. The top comes of effortlessly so you never have to hold up everyone in the group when putting the top back on your pack. All in all this is a great bag and even though I wouldn't consider it light by any means on paper, your body won't know it because how well the frame works.

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?
Submitted by: Miguel - Detroit, MI
A.} 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.
