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.

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

I'm 6-4 220lbs and have no problems with the comfort. Used the pack to hike 70 miles on the App. Trail. Used the 3400 and hiked 120 miles. Only switched because my son needed the 3400 after his old pack gave out. It was another brand and he had it for a long time. It does need a better rain cover. The one that comes with it isn't the best quality.

Hello! I could not answer that question with any certainty, however, based on my experience with this pack, it is very versatile as far as adjustments. I am a smaller-framed person, 5-8 and 170lbs. and it was perfect for me with plenty of strap adjustments for smaller/larger framed persons. I would guess that it would work. Hope that helps.

I'm 6'3" and have/had this pack. It wasn't so much height that was the problem, it was girth. I have ~58" chest with relatively broad shoulders and this pack, even with the shoulder straps fully extended, was a challenge to take on/off. Then, once I got it on, I looked like shrek with a kids backpack high on my back. It wasn't pretty... I gave it to my son for school. He's about 5'9" and thin, it works very well for him.

I don't have the backpack with me, but my son is about the same size and he has one. The torso lenght is adjustable and the top compartment has 2 cinches to pull the pack smaller. The top flap snaps over it and has storage in it also. It is expandable so if you fill it you will increase the height. I don't know if this helps, but it is a multi day pack at 65 liters. My only complaint with mine (I also have one , I'm 6') is the chest strap always rides up to the high position. I'll nerd to secure it where I want it.

I just bought the pack, I am also 5"9" and 195. my torso measures about 22" and it fits me very well. i am very pleased with this pack.

No, it will definitely be too small. It is made for smaller torsos. There is a guide for measuring your torso by specific vertebra, from neck to waist. That length is what you use when shopping for packs, as most item specs indicate the range of torso lengths that will fit.

Summit 2800 is 19.5 long and not adjustable, so you will need to measure your torso. There is a easy to follow video on Teton's website. Here's the link: http://www.tetonsports.com/adventureblog/how-to-choose-the-right-backpack-for-the-adventure/

I will say - yes, this pack is too large for you, would not be comfortable. I am 5' 9", 170 pounds, regular build, and this pack feels bulky on me. I do hike with it only because it holds so much gear. The two smaller models do not easily handle long lenses.

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'm not a pro, only hiked out into the Northern California forests. That being said, I am 5' 7" and this bag fits me good. I would suggest a smaller back pack. Check out Teton Sport Scout 3400. Also try on similar or same size in person !!!

Hard to say - the pack is 18-1/2 inches in length, but would hang down further when the straps are over your shoulder. I find it one of the most comfortable packs I've owned even when I have camera, lens, iPad, water. It is more narrow than most packs. But, I am 6'1".

Its mainly for people that are less than 5'7". The expedition is what you would need if your taller.

Impossible to tell. Your height is actually irrelevant. It all depends on your torso length, which is measured from the bottom of your neck (the prominent vertibra that sticks out just above shoulder height) to your waist (where your thumbs touch with your hands on your hips). This pack is adjustable for torso lengths between 17" and 21".

I am only 5'1" and it fits me perfectly, so I would not think it would work as comfortably on a taller individual. My husband is 6'7" and I asked him to try it, and the rest did not quite fit his back. I know that neither height fits yours exactly, but I hope this info helps you to figure the odds!

My husband is 6'4" and my son is just over 6'2" and they both love it. They used it on a 25 mile hike over a weekend and had no complaints.
