This is a very nice backpack, but you might find it a bit small. I am 5'11" and 195 lbs. It fits me comfortably, but it doesn't cover more than about 2/3 of my back, and the waist strap has just a few inches to spare.If you live near a BBuy, you might want to check out the Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG[ASIN: B00009R6TA Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG]. That bag's dimensions are nearly identical to this one's. If that one's big enough for you, this one will be, too.

I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed. I know it says "skinny" style in the description, but I think that is very misleading because this bag will fit most frames (unless you are less than 120 lbs or over 300). This is easily the best bag I have ever owned (out of about 5-6 other brands, sizes, styles, etc.) and I have been adding gear to it ever since I received it from Amazon. I cannot wait to really get out and beat on it a bit because I know it will take it and as such, would recommend it to anyone. JC

I am 5'6'' and Small/Medium size works just fine. In my opinion, the best approach is to go to a local outfitter store, they might have a special measuring device from Osprey. That what I did.

AmazonBasics Sling Backpack for SLR Cameras (Black) is a better option in my eyes. Good luck!

I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long! She's so much taller than me, she can see over my shoulder when I use our BOBA. She loves being able to see! Like the other commenter Lisa mentioned, a bigger kid can have their arms up and over the shoulder straps and it works fine! I am sooooo happy I bought this devise. So much better than the Ergo. FYI. I bought it in the brown color and it is really dark at night when we stroll. I have attached reflector tape and those LED light up orbs that are sold for dog collars. Its made me feel safer walking in the dark. I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long!

I believe that the size options were placed in error. There is actually only one size. You can check out Ogio's website for a video demonstration on the backpack's size and layout.

I responded to Amazon about the ILBE once before. I ordered the ILBE about a year and a half ago and LOVE the backpack as it's extremely durable for the work I use it for. My PROBLEM with the ILBE is that my ruck arrive OCONUS AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT rucksack straps. I had to cannibalize an older SNUGPACK rucksack so that I could use the ILBE. FIX THAT PROBLEM and we'll be square, otherwise I'm still a bit pissed.7lbs empty, a lot more when I travel.

I'm 5'11 and 245 and it works pretty well.. the strap that goes around your chest may not work on a female that size though, but the arm straps should do ok. My wife shoots with a.. larger lady and she opted out of a backpack and instead went with a sing pack that sits in front, she had troubles getting the pack on and off.

Hello. The strap is a one size fits all. I am 5'9, 170 lbs and I had to shorten the strap so it fit correctly. One would have to unusally large or small for the standard strap not to be able to be adjusted to fit you. Also, Amazon is very cooperative regarding returns. If it does not, they will arrange for its return, although under some circumstances the buyer is responsible for return shipping.

I just weighed the bag and it is 3.8 lbs (3 lbs 12 oz) Or, 1.72 kilo. . .Hope this helps? If you want to know what it will fit inside? I "loaded" it with: 1--Nikon D7000; 1--Nikon D90; 1--Tamron 28-300mm lens; 1--Sigma 18-35mm lens; i--Nikon 85mm lens; 2--Battery chargers (for each camera) plus connecting cables; 1--2X lens "extender;" a mini-tripod; 2--"full-size" (300+ pages) manuals; 1--Kindle Fire 10 tablet in leather case with keyboard; 1--8x11 70 page lined paper notebook; a dozen 5x8 cards; misc pens and markers; and, a pair of sunglasses; and, a roll of duct tape. . .And, there is still room for a couple sandwiches. . .I am also able to mount a 54" tripod and a water bottle using the straps on the outside of the pack. . .Thus, enabling me to carry quite a bit of "goodies" in one bag (Obviously, NOT all that was gonna be carried by me on my back . . .but, I CAN just grab the pack and toss it into the car. . .and, unload the unnecessary stuff when I get to the trail head). . .I can, if necessary carry just about all of that on a short hike, which is why I got it (I have a "full-size" LowePro backpack if I want to go overnight with which I can carry a sleeping bag; cooking kit; axe; etc etc) I got the Amazon backpack STRICTLY for "day hikes". . .

I'm a small framed guy - 5'8" and 150#. I packed my Explorer 4000 heavy, with 4 liters of water, 30 meters of heavy climbing rope, even an ukulele lashed to it. It weighed in at about 55# and I took it through the Red River gorge wilderness following (and usually in) a creek - 6 hours to my destination. I was delighted with this pack. The straps didn't chafe, my back didn't hurt, it was surprisingly comfortable. In the July heat it was sufficiently ventilated that I didn't sweat as much as I would expect. For the price, I'm singing this pack's praises! It's supposed to be adjustable, but I carried it as it was out of the box with no more adjustment than to cinch it up. Fully loaded with heavy gear, it might be too much for you unless you're a pretty rugged gal. I definitely recommend the pack, but will it also fit a woman comfortably? I say get it, try it out, if it doesn't work for you then use Amazon's amazing return policy. Happy hiking! I hope this helps.

I think that you will find this rolling backpack fits very well. There is a lot of ability to loosen and tighten the straps. I prefer to toll this bag most of the time to save my shoulders but when I'm in a city or walking up to a building I sometimes wear it as a backpack and it works well. I am 5'8" and I have to adjust the straps pretty tight. I hope this helps.

I'd recommend getting the BIIN 47.The BIIN37 is ridiculously small and borders on tiny.Even the BIIN 47 is smaller than what you would consider to be a 'normal' backpack (i.e. laptop backpack at BestBuy).I debated a long time between he 37/47.... sooo glad I got the 47 after seeing how small it is. Your 60D + 18-55 will fit very comfortably in it. The larger compartment fit my Nikon 55-200mm lens very comfortable with room to spare, so you should be able to easily put the Speedlite flash in there (the 47 has 2 dividers, so you should be able to fit a 50mm PRIME in there too).I think when I measured the large internal lens compartment it was 8.5" long.

I'm 5'8" that use to weigh 290 lbs. I had a 17 3/4" - 18" neck size for my dress shirts. I tried it on a few times at home and it was too tight for me, I would be reluctant to wear it out in public. Since March 2013 I have dropped 50 lbs and now it's very loose and I have no problems wearing out in public. I would suggest going to your local camera store and asking if they carry this strap and try it on.

So I am...well, actually, I am 6' 4" and 5/8's inch (per my son who HAD to know)...266 lbs. I LOVE my 5.11's. I have the MOAD 10, the Rush 24 and the Rush 72. Straps are easy to adjust and I love the vented back for air flow. I use mine for the last 3 years when I hike in Idaho, my 5.11 holds true. I even use it for bike trips. This backpack is nicely designed and is good to go. This was my first 5.11 back pack. The success of this made me get the 10 and 72.

Yes, that's how I wear it. I don't know the max length of the strap, but my son who is 6'2" has the same bag and wears it across his body. We both love it! I put my ipad in it too. It took me a long time to find a camera bag that met all my needs. We both used our bags in Italy this year for a month while traveling and they performed great, even in rain. Hint...I sprayed the outside of bag with waterproofing spray for shoes! Really helped.
