If I get the regular size, will this bag be too big for me? I'm 5'11" and 51" at the shoulders.

No, the regular size definitely won't be too big. I bought the small size and I'm 5'7". It was barely big enough for me.

I'm 6 feet or about the same size as you and I was comfortable in the bag. I'm narrower in the shoulders though.

Unless you really big around the middle, the belt should be long enough. I am 5' 11" 220 lb and it fits me with room to spare. Lots of buoyancy. Mine developed an unsightly tear at the belt attach after ~3 wks but it works fine.

While the shoulder straps/torso length is adjustable, it's my understanding that this particular pack was made for smaller torsos. My son, who is 5'4", has his pack adjusted to the next to longest adjustment. He does have a longer torso for his size, but I don't know if it will fit someone who is 5'11". You may be able to find a video online that gives you the specific measurements.

That's a tight fit, but you should be okay. I love this bag though. Sturdy and durable. No flaws or issues since I've had it.

I am 5' 11"... the pack felt small on me with the straps lengthened to their max. The bag is a small person bag with minimal equipment expectations.

I think your shoulder width is more of a concern here than your height. I am a little short and only a bit stocky. My shoulder width is ~21-22 and it is just right for me. If you are tall and wide or "normal", it might not be enough. If you are tall and skinny I think it will work. This is just speculation, but I would not think it wide enough for those whose shoulder width id greater than ~24.

I think the regular (medium) would work for 5'6". I got the "long" because I am 6' and don't particularly like the confines of a mummy bag. It gives me plenty of room but it still tight enough to eliminate any air pockets. Tip - use a bag liner for a few extra degrees insulation as well as to keep the inside of your bag clean. It also allows more freedom of movement. I got a cheap magellan for @$15 and it works great.

I suspect it would be a little on the long side, but not so long/large that it's uncomfortable. I've put this bag on my 4' 8" daughter and it's still a little big. I'd recommend finding your torso length (YouTube) to know for sure. This bag runs about 16", but keep in mind you probably won't be loading that much weight into it, so it won't be as important if it's not your exact size. Hope this helps.

I'm 6ft. 195lbs and it's seems fairly large on me. With both bags full the weight tends to move the harness a bit. I don't know if they have different sizes or not.

Yes! This bag is perfect. it does get long enough if you want to cross it or short enough to carry over your shoulder.

I will have to alter the wrap around Velcro adjustment strap and I'm a 34. The shoulder part does seem to fit ok so I would not go smaller . I got a medium

I'm 5'10" and 200lbs and I opted for the large size and they are just barely large enough. I think a regular should work for you just fine.

I'm 5'10". I can't imagine the strap being a problem for anyone of any size. It's long enough so it can be worn diagonally across your chest with the bag on your back. It's also easy to just throw over one shoulder.

You know I am not that big. I am 5'11 and 200lb.I fit quite nicely. Your size doesn't seem tobe in the wide area but more tall. I think you will be able to fit but not sure how comfortable you will be. But the bags are different sizes. Being the inside one the smallest. The outer and middle bag is quiet large. I used it with all three bags. Hope I helped with your question.

I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed. I know it says "skinny" style in the description, but I think that is very misleading because this bag will fit most frames (unless you are less than 120 lbs or over 300).This is easily the best bag I have ever owned (out of about 5-6 other brands, sizes, styles, etc.) and I have been adding gear to it ever since I received it from Amazon. I cannot wait to really get out and beat on it a bit because I know it will take it and as such, would recommend it to anyone.JC I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed.

I'm 5'11", 210 and can wear this over a winter coat. It's got more room than I can fill, lots of pockets and some with mesh dividers. I would rate it heavy duty and large, and I haven't even filled it yet. Everything on it is straight and squared away. Hope this helps.

I would say no. I am 5'5", 130 with kind of broad shoulders and it is really too big for me.
