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.

These poles are very light weight, the flick locks work really well and lock down nice and tight. The wrist straps are comfy and the cork grips are amazing. Im 5'10" and these poles seem to work really well for my height. I look forward to using them every time I hit the mountains now!
