Version reviewed: women's Glacier 50
Older version of the women's Glacier 50. Well made. I am 5' 120 pounds, have an extra small. Not a frequent backpacker, several multi-day overnights and most recently a section of AZ Trail including Grand Canyon. After multiple adjustments and weight distribution, the pack's hip belt is not a good fit, very bulky. No amount of adjustments stopped the hipbelt padding from limiting stride. One small tear in the bottom of pack, fixable. Recommend for anyone taller than me.
Pros
Adjustable
Good support
Good stitching
Zippers work well
Cons
XS women's pack is made for over 5' hiker.
Over built hip belt is great annoyance.
