My medium bulges where the back panel meets the front straps - would getting a small fix that? I'm 5'8" and wear junior's sizes or women's xs.

If it feels comfortable (Snug but not too tight to cut into your skin) under your arms in the armpit area than I suggest keeping the medium and seeing about stitching the back to suit you better (Sewing machine would work wonders). A small could cause serious irritation in the armpits if you are already snug in a medium. Another good way to find out if you should wear a small is measuring the strap area under your bust and above too. I fit a medium snug and my measurements are (35" below bust, and 36 1/2" above bust line.) At mid twenties to very low thirties I would suggest a small.

Jack,I am a 32" waist.I bought a medium.I have the shorts adjusted to the smallest possible fit.To me,it seems the adjustable straps on the sides would go up to a 36" waist.

Hi Rajeev,I would have to say no. I'm built stocky and had the straps pulled close to its end range so I highly doubt it would fit her. This pack is more suited for larger individuals in my opinion.

I have the tan version. Im 5.10 175lbs and i tightened all the straps left and right almost all the way down to have a snug fit... there is 3 adjustable straps on each side.. they extend about 6 inches... my guess is that it would fit as long as u have a proportionate body considering ur not packin all that in front... check to see if they have a XL version... But im sure the belt would fit to size 38 waist... im 32 waist and i had to tighten it... there is plenty of room to extend the belt.

A small should fit you, i am 5'8" and 144, and I had room. You are busty so you will want the small.

This is a late response to Diosdado but if it can help someone else...I am a female with small, bony 6" wrists. I ordered the Pro series in small and extra small. The small had a bit of room but couldn't close tighter because that was as far as it could go. There was also some excess strap sticking out which I knew would drive me insane while lifting. The extra small could close tighter (I know they say you don't want it tight but I like having the option) and I was able to make it looser as well. The main thing was no excess strap sticking out. Now, my husband tried the small on and while he didn't lift anything with the grips they seemed to fit him okay.

I would say yes it would probably even better than how it fits me. The straps are adjustable so you should be good.

It might be marginal. I'm 160 with about a 34 inch waist. I have to crank it down pretty tight. I'm skeptical that you'd be able to tighten the strap tight enough.

I am 5'6'' and Small/Medium size works just fine. In my opinion, the best approach is to go to a local outfitter store, they might have a special measuring device from Osprey. That what I did.

i'm 5'8". The medium is perfect for me but I wouldn't want the straps any tighter, they are snug enough.i'm 33 waste 78kg and perfect for me.I have the 3/4 bibs as well and are also perfect fit.i also have the Pro bibs in med which are slightly tighter every where but the pad is better on the longer rides.Pit stops are not as easy in the pro's haha

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

I am 5' 6" and have short legs (sitting I look much taller - and have plenty of room at the crotch level. Due to the frame bar lower than moral, you should be all right.

I'm the same size as James, I have the shoulder straps at the top setting, but I'm long wasted, so it could work for you. I have a 32" waste and have almost all the slack taken out of the waste strap, so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't know my hip to shoulder measurement, but my pants inseam is 32" and I'm 5' 11" if that helps.

I am probably closer to 35" waist and the Medium fits well - you should have some wiggle room

I'm 5.6' and this backpack fits ok, the shoulder straps are little narrow, therefore there is more pressure on shoulders. Yeah you would wanna get smaller one hope this helps

Hello -- we've had some petite adults say they were ok for them, but as we know everyone is a different size. I'll address this more fully in your email to us, but one quick fix might be to stretch them about a bit (the metal band is flexible). We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so we'll work something out with you of course. Thank you.

The straps on the back are very adjustable and shouldfit you just fine. Trycrossing shoulder straps across your back to put it at a good height on your chest then pull your straps tight.
