What kind of backpack do you recommend for petite women, 5 ft. tall, very slinder?

Stephanie - That's a tough one. Most packs adjust for someone's size, even someone little like you. I think the key is how much can you carry and still be efficient on your hike or camping trip. The bigger the pack, the more stuff you'll bring, the heavier it would be. I think if you purchase a pack larger than 50 liters, it may be too difficult to keep up and haul that much weight if you fill it.

Hello Stephanie, I do not recommend this backpack for a petite woman. There is a smaller version of this pack, it doesn't have a ouch for your sleeping bag. But it would be better suited for someone of your stature. I'll get the name for you and provide, soon.

Yes, you can totally adjust it. I sm 5 foot and average size and it worked well.

I am 5'3 and 120 lbs and this was good for me. I was able carry it fine and I'm not terribly strong. However don't fill it too too much because when it was too heavy it did pull me backwards

I would recommend The Kelty Redwing 3100, the pack has the "Air-Flow" tech with padding and frame for additional support. It has the waist and chest belts to keep pack close to your bod. I use this pack (mostly) for my day trips, hikes, but it definitely can handle camping periods of longer duration. Because of your size, the Kelty will be ideal. Best regards, Skeet

I would first consider the backpacking conditions that I would be engaged in. Estimate the clothing and provisions that I would need for the trip, and select a bag that would have the capacity and features to get me there and back. I did some investigation at backpacking websites before I bought my Teton 75L10.

Hi Rebecca, It may not be small enough for a petite person, since it fits 2X users comfortably.Sorry

I have this same pncho, though i bought mine from sportsmansguide. I am 5 foot 10 inches and weigh 375lbs and it fits around me and my fully loaded large alice pack with external frame.

Thanks. I'm thinking of using waterproof drawstring tote bag such as Liberty Bags Large Lightweight Nylon Drawstring Backpack which measure 17 by 20 inches and available at Amazon over the seat and tying it securely. Not sure what the seat measures but I wonder if that would work? PS: In red of course!

I can't advise to that as I returned mine because it was smaller than I perceived. I ended up with the Swiss Army Knife backpack to which I am truly grateful. Most amazing, abundant bag I've ever seen.

I keep a grenade on the "accessory pouch" on top, it's kind of big to hold weird things like that. And it should fit you fine. It can be tightened a good bit to fit your frame. My wife is 5'3" and wears one too.

I think you would be OK, but agree that the height is critical. I have found that the shoulder straps stitching could be better.. all in all, not a bad bag..

I am about 5' 8" and it fits me with a little room to spare. 7" would more than likely be too tall for this bag.

I bought this one for myself and it looks ok since I am 6´2 tall. I think size could be a little bigger for a woman, but depends on much are you going to carry in.

I am 6'5" and i tried a friends patrol sleeping bag and I fit in it with no problems. probably going to buy one for myself.

I'm a 30-ish woman in pretty good shape. I find that kind of load in my bag is not comfortable for long periods. A backpack would distribute the weight more equally.

It depends on whether you like larger size backpacks on your back. I am 5'1" and I love larger backpacks. If not, then go with the 25L one.

I would go with the 35L. I can put my large purse, two pairs of shoes and a set of clothing in there, with a little to spare. Comfort-wise that size might be better for a taller guy, too.

I would recommend the women's vest. It goes up to 30 lbs and it more suited for a lady's frame. Search womens MIR vest. Unless you need something heavier.

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 am 5'4" size 0 and very petite as well. It's quite short on me so if you are looking for something with more length I wouldn't choose it being 5'7" since there is only one size.

It will fit her just fine--I am 5'4" and 126lbs and it is a perfect fit for me--this pack rules! Jeff Cowell.
