Nice beginner pack. Has enough room for up to five nights with light gear load. I started with this pack three years ago with a thirteen inch torso and I am pushing its limit at about eighteen inches. I would recommend this pack for beginners who are about 4' 11"+ and have a small budget. I really like the shape of the frame and the top bar that allows you to easily lash a lot of gear on the pack. This pack is not ideal if you are planning on taking trips with a lot of gear or in cold weather because it can't hold all the gear.
