My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

5ft 8" - 6ft 3" it will do that no problem. If you get a larger pack, you will regret it.

You will need a bigger backpack, 65 ltr is best for 5'5" - 5'7" with minimum gear, look at 75 ltr or bigger. Sorry I took so long to answer.

Not sure about 6'4" for fit, but it was fine for me (6'0"). The backpack worked very well. The rain fly that comes with it was particularly useful. I bought a smaller size Teton (scout) for one of my kids and it worked great.

My husband is 5'10" and 240 lbs. It fits him great. I am 5'3" and thin and it adjusted to me perfect. the pack has an adjustment so that you can raise or lower the pack to fit your body. We love our so far. We each have it set up completely different.

My husband is also 5'9" and weighs more than you do. The pack is comfortable and also adjustable, fits well. You should be fine!

I got it for my 5'4" 115lb girlfriend. It holds a ton of stuff. Its a good 2-3 day bag. Strong and well made. For the money I would say its definitely worth it. For your frame it will seem narrow but you could load it up. It is not 1000 denier nylon like a mil spec bag. So I would consider this a semi serious camping/hiking bag.

My girlfriend and I both use this pack comfortably. I am 5'8" with a large build, and she is 5'3" with a medium build. We both LOVE this bag!

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.

I'm 6-4 and my sleeping bag fit into the bag. I would not put the sleeping pad into the bag. It can be straped on the outside. Remember this is a medium size bag. The interior will hold 2 shirts, 1 pants, 2 underwear and 2 socks. Food for 5 days ( depends on what you eat). Rain jacket, emergency tarp, first aid kit, hygiene kit both 6x4 inches. 1 person tent or hammock, rain fly, straps and rope. Alcohol stove, ultra light pot w lid. Side pockets hold water treatment, alcohol fuel, lighter, maps, snacks, spoon or spork, etc. Top storage has twice as much room as side pockets. Bottom has rain cover which comes with the pack. There are lots of places to tie down your sleeping pad, hiking poles, what ever. I bought mine to use on the Appalachian Trail. I have 30lbs of stuff which I hope to get down to 25lbs. I had a larger pack- 6000 cu in. but when you are hiking 544 miles weight is a factor. If you are car camping or just hiking to a camp site and not moving for a week go with a larger pack. You can bring more stuff. Some thru hikers have packs with less cu in to save weight. I am not in a hurry so if I get tired I will rest and enjoy the scenery. I did buy a compression bag for my sleeping bag. It was tight w/o compression bag. My sleeping bag came with just a stuff sack. It ddin't compress the sleeping bag so I went with a compression bag. Yours may be smaller or larger than my sleeping bag. Mine is a synthetic fill rated to 20 but I think it is only good to 30. That is from years of use at different temps. I may need a new bag. Even 30 degrees is to cold for me these days. Hope this helps. Happy trails, Dave

I'm 6'3" and have/had this pack. It wasn't so much height that was the problem, it was girth. I have ~58" chest with relatively broad shoulders and this pack, even with the shoulder straps fully extended, was a challenge to take on/off. Then, once I got it on, I looked like shrek with a kids backpack high on my back. It wasn't pretty... I gave it to my son for school. He's about 5'9" and thin, it works very well for him.

I am 5'4" and have been nothing but pleased with the pack. It is very comfortable for any sized person, and I highly recommend it!

I'm 6'2" 190 lb. and I bought a large. The length was perfect for me, though a bit too much fabric around the belly. I would not get a medium for myself because I think the length would be too short. I am an ultramarathoner and therefore do not have much around the midsection as it is. I would say that a large will be PLENTY of room for you.

Perhaps. I'm tall and thin but have fairly broad shoulders and I have trouble with the shoulder straps slipping off my shoulders. That might be more of an issue for someone with a smaller frame. It's a great pack otherwise.

Older models came in S/M/L. Current year model is S/M and M/L. the risgh sized pack depends n your torso length. Check out http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/web/sizing_and_fitting. My torso length 15 right between the two sizes at 20.5 so I went with the small. It adjusts perfectly and is really comfortable on long all day hikes.

I was concerned with sizing when recently shopping for a backpack as well. I'm 6'9" and 285 lbs and the Rush 24 fits well on me as a everyday backpack.

I am 5'4" medium built. I adjusted it a couple of times to get it were I liked it best. It has several adjustments you can use unlike other packs.

I'm 5'9 200 lbs man broad shoulders and I swim in this bag. I used it while serving in the Marines and had to buy one. Very comfy and lightweight I normally just use the black (patrol) bag so the combo is over kill if you aren't camping in the snow. Both bags together pack down with compression bag to about the size of a gallon of milk (ish). Hope this helps.
