If you are an average size person, a medium is going to do just fine. The straps are adjustable and there are numerous straps adjust to individual body frames and preferences. I'm 5'8 and 185 pounds just as a reference point. Also, if you go on their website, they have some sizing information. Hope this helps.

The sizes depend on torso length. You can look up on the internet how to measure your torso (I'm taller than my husband but surprisingly have a shorter torso). This makes a huge difference for having the right fit for your bag and can save you a lot of unnecessary pain if you're going to be carrying a lot of weight or traveling long distances. Also, Osprey's website details the torso lengths for the different sizes and then the size of the bag does sometimes increase with bigger sizes.

Really I have no idea about that. My best suggestion is to tryone on in a store, and order the pack from Amazon if it's cheaper.

I purchased the Large size and they fit perfect. I am a 40 waist/32 in-seam, the length is a little long but manageable. As for the medium size I am not sure.

Comes in Small, Medium, and Large. If you are normally a medium, I recommend getting the Large. For small, go with Medium.

I recommend a medium, thats what my husband wears and he's your size. I'm about a 28-32 and a small does me just fine :)

I would say a medium, but if you order the wrong size you can always return it for a larger size.

Go with a Medium or Large. I ordered an XL based on another review, and it was just wrong. I'm 5'11" 185 and the XL was way too big for me.

I don't know about the medium but....on my large (i'm 5'9/195), I wear layers and have no problems at all. The large fits really big on me and I've worn: base layers for top/bottom (thermal/underarmor, fishing pants, socks pullover zip and rain jacket. Still....i've got manuverability. As I stated earlier, this is a larger size though. IMO, I think you'll be fine. I hope this helps.

I don't know what size the medium runs but I wear a 12 and the large fit perfectly so I would try the medium

I had a very similar question. I did some Googling and found my way to www.shouldersback.net. Per their site, a medium will fit up to a 38" chest. The large fits up to a 50" chest. They also have a toll free number, 877-437-8434. If you still aren't sure on the sizing, give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to help :-)

I recommend you buy a package of each - medium and large. The medium fit me but I liked the large as it allowed easier application and gave some leaway for fit.

Hi Laura, think you might need large. I am not sure how the sizing runs. They are great.
