I'm 5'3, 130 pounds. Hoping to use this pack when I travel to SE asia. Would the small be too big for me?

Hard to say how it would fit. Is there any way to try a bag on in a store and then compare measurements? My guess is it would be okay but you may want to compare for your own comfort.

Per the pack's description, the small is for a torso length of 14.5" to 18.5." The backpack experts say you should always buy a pack based on your torso length, not your body height. If you can get someone to help you, run a tape measure from where your neck meets your shoulders down to the top of your hips. Place your two hands on the tops of the hips, and let your assistant measure from the top down to the center our your two outstretched thumbs. This is your torso length. I'm guessing the small/medium size will be fine for you, but measure first. Everyone is built differently. I'm 5'9" and the medium/large fits me well. Some people are "higher-waisted" than others, so such a person might have a shorter torso length despite their height. Good luck!

I am quite pleased with the quality and adjustability of this pack. You will have no trouble with it fitting comfortably.

The answer is a definite "YES". I would know because I wish should have bought a smaller one for my needs. On note though is that it may not have the padding you normally see in packs that are meant to hold laptops. Lots of pockets inside.

I think case logic DCB-309 will look small on you.The DCB-309 is enough for normal size people up to 5.8" tall with 80kg.So I suggest you to stop by at case logic store or its affiliate in your town and try it yourself.or try to compare the dimension of case logic DCB-309 (Size 17.3 x 8.4 x 11.4 in) vs your current backpacks.Good luck big guy!

I am 5'8" and 185 lbs. I got the medium/large and it fits well. I assume the small/medium will work for you. This pack does not come with the rain cover, so I bought one at the time I got the Coyote 80. It is a very nice pack. I like it a lot! The only thing I wish it had was a separate top and bottom compartment. I hate digging for things on the bottom. BUT, for the price and all the other options on this pack, like large outside pockets, access to the inside from the front, and a large pocket on the front, it is the best pack I could have gotten myself. It is also extremely comfortable on the hips and shoulders. Hope this helps...Merry Christmas! HoHoHo!

Don't know if it helps but im 6.0 and 165 and i could it adjust it to fit just fine.. i would say there is plenty of length to fit someone a little taller than I.. only real quarm is this is my first hikers pack and i feel uneasy on how thin the material seems, but they all are like that. I do a lot of hunting and hiking. The pack is heavy if you are looking for real light weight but i definitely like it and hope to have it for a long time also great for the price.

Hi! I'm a 24 year girl and I feel comfortable but I still think maybe it's a little big for me. So, You better pick a 50L model made for womans! I would buy High Sierra again. Buy a little one and learn how to pack well to make the things fit in Perfectly. Hope I helped you out.

It is a pretty big pack. I usually do not wear anything when out riding, the only reason I got this pack is for patrol duties. I was surprised to see how roomie it is, you can store a lot of stuff in there. Downside is the added weight once it's full (not to mention the bladder is pretty big as well so it will add to that). So if you like riding light I would suggest getting something smaller. If you are looking into a lot of storage then this is a good choice. Considering your petite frame, I wouldn't recommend it (unless the main purpose would be a large haul capacity).

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

I am 5'2" and the small was not too big if that is what you are worried about. I sometimes wish I had test rode the small and medium before buying one but I am on the heavier side and I think if I was thinner the small would be perfect. Hope this helps!!

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

I'm pretty sure it would fit just fine. I'm still amazed at how much stuff this pack can carry.

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..

No, this would not be a good pack for carrying that much weight. I bought it to take on the Camino in the fall. It was great for afternoons and evening just to carry light weight personal items. The beauty of this pack is that is can be condensed. The straps are not very well padded. It is not intended to be used as a main back pack. More of a travel accessory.

Whether or not an item fits most often depends on how much you pack into it. My best guess would be no. This is a quite roomy pack and one would probably tend to overfill.

You'll have no problems. I have a 34 inch waist and there is plenty of adjustment room either way. I would guess you could go as low as 24 inches and out to 44 inches or more. It's a good pack. I've had over 100 lbs on it and felt in control.
