Sized for small torsos, good distribution August 26, 2010

I went to a local store INTENDING to get a Kelty (cheaper) but most manufacturers have gone to the adjustable torso. Turns out, at least in Gregory, my torso measures between 14 and 15 inches. That means that in an adjustable model a lot of the weight would be above my shoulders/head which makes me unstable and top heavy.
Gregory has a FANTASTIC reputation. I shelled out $60 (on discount, it would have been $140 at MSRP) extra (compared to the Kelty I was looking at) to buy the XS version of this bag and I LOVE it. I've only done 4 miles at 5000ft (my norm) and 20lbs with this, but I didn't feel the weight in my hips, back or shoulders. At the end of the trail I was ready to be 20lbs lighter again, but my hips, shoulders and back felt absolutely normal.
I love the sleeping bag zone, the mid-section access and the little pockets on the hip belt.
Warning - I've seen reviews where someone packed this with 70lbs and the seams split...if you go to the Gregory website, this bag is only rated to 50lbs. It is VERY sturdy, but can only carry what it can carry. If you need to carry more than 50lbs, you'll want to get the Deva 85.
I HIGHLY recommend this brand to women with smaller torsos. Your balance will be so much better with a pack that is not "one-size fits all" as we all know that is a crock of smelly stuff! You simply have to have a good backpack if you are traveling long distances or carrying large weights and you don't want to cheap out. Cheap out on other gear, but get a good backpack!
