Why do so many people say this pack is for shorter people? The torso adjustment listed is the largest spread of any Teton offers. I am 6'1" .

I'm 5'8" and had to adjust the shoulder harness down several nitches from stock placement to make it ride high enough. Initially, this pack rode very low and was uncomfortable until properly adjusted. I could be wrong, but it appeared that it would be fine if configured correctly.

I am 5'9" and had the straps comfortably set at about 2/3 up the adjustment with the pack fully loaded. This is an excellent quality pack.

I bought it for my girlfriend who is 5' 3", but we ended up returning it because the straps had very little padding and there was not adjustment for the torso length. She got TETON Sports Scout 3400 Internal Frame Backpack (Mecca Orange) instead, which has multiple adjustments. While it's a bit larger, but it can adjust to your size and it holds weight much better. She really likes 3400 one.

It is an VERY NICE pack! Yes, it is adjustable and both waist and shoulders. I'm 5'4" 115lbs with a short torso. I have it adjusted down as far it will go and it fits me perfectly. Hope this was helpful!

I am 6'1" and use it while mountain biking and it works great for that. I set it a little high on purpose but it could have been lowered down a good bit from where I had it.

I am 6'3 and found the Condor Recon Chest Rig to be very adjustable to my long torso. There was plenty of room for adjustment and it works well.

Don't know if it helps but im 6.0 and 165 and i could it adjust it to fit just fine.. i would say there is plenty of length to fit someone a little taller than I.. only real quarm is this is my first hikers pack and i feel uneasy on how thin the material seems, but they all are like that. I do a lot of hunting and hiking. The pack is heavy if you are looking for real light weight but i definitely like it and hope to have it for a long time also great for the price.

This pack is really too small for me At 6'2". I use it occasionally, but it is too short-waisted.

Hi Bob, I'm about your size, and I've had back surgery. I know this question is old, but it doesn't seem to have been answered very well. I don't have this pack, but I am interested in it. The sizing issue is not as much about overall height as it is about torso length. The best thing would be to visit a specialty store that sells this kind of gear and get your torso measured...or checkout this howto: http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/backpacks-torso-hip-size.html. Getting the right sized pack is crucial when you're going to be carrying 65L worth of gear. My day pack which gets a lot of use is a Osprey Kestrel 32 with adjustable torso, at 6'4", I've got a 22" torso, the Kestrel is awesome. Hi Bob, I'm about your size, and I've had back surgery.

Hi Ed, I too am 5'9" 180, and it fits. You may find it slightly narrow. It packs a lot, and has a lot of useful features. A pal has a Dueter almost spit'n image that cost twice as much. Check it out, ya can always send it back! Sorry my response took so long. Good luck, and good hiking!

All of the High Peak Backpacks have adjustable frames; however, this huge 75 liter pack will NOT fit you comfortably. At 5'1" I recommend the Luna 45+10. If you really need a huge pack, check this 75 liter Kelty: B004CX8JJA. Sincerely - Jerry

Perhaps. I'm tall and thin but have fairly broad shoulders and I have trouble with the shoulder straps slipping off my shoulders. That might be more of an issue for someone with a smaller frame. It's a great pack otherwise.

This wonderful made in the USA pack adjusts to many different sizes! I am 6'3", 200 lbs, 46" chest, 22" torso. And the Rokk wind river large top load internal frame-pack fits me great! It will also fit someone smaller or even larger! The adjustments are very well made.

Hi Bob, I have my doubts but it could work. I'm just under 6', 190 lb. Had plenty of room to adjust. Maybe buy it and return if it doesn't fit. Loved the pack!

The pack is very adjustable. I'm 5'9. It should work I would guess. I would say it may be close but it would be worth it

Great question but I think you would be more comfortable in the Explorer Deluxe model which is made for taller individuals.Thanks, ImagineGear

This pack does not have an adjustable torso. It's torso length from the shoulder strap anchor points to the bottom of the hip pad is 18 inches. That means that it is intended to fit someone with torso length that is a minimum of 18 inches.

I think it's for someone smaller. I am 5'4 and it fits me perfectly. It is adjustable, but it's a pretty small pack. Just my thoughts on it.
