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!

No, it will definitely be too small. It is made for smaller torsos. There is a guide for measuring your torso by specific vertebra, from neck to waist. That length is what you use when shopping for packs, as most item specs indicate the range of torso lengths that will fit.

Yes. It's a great pack but it's HUGE. I fell it's too big for everyday activities. Good for travel but some airlines will have check it in as it doesn't always overhead.

I'M 6FT AND 275. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS TO SMALL. I HAVE A TON OF STUFF IN IT ALREADY AND THE MAIN COMPARTMENT ISN'T EVEN A THIRD FULL! I DO like the way it is wider at the bottom than that top. To me it just looks better than one that is the same width top to bottom. I'd say go for it if you are looking for a smaller/day pack. It's a good 'un!

It's not a big pack compared to others. I'm 5'9" and find it comfortable. Can't really guess how it would work for you. I will say I love this backpack!

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.

It's not very big so i would assume it will fit you better than most standard sized backpacks. Quality is excellent for the money, better than some of the other high end names out there. I did switch back to a messenger bag for preference, but i would recommend this backpack to anyone that is looking for great features and quality for the price.

Hey, Devyn. Sorry for the delayed response! I don't think you'll have any problems with the fit. One of the great things about this pack is how much it can be adjusted. Not only can you tighten or loosen the chest and waist straps, but you can do the same for each of the shoulder straps. I just measured the pack, itself, and it comes in right around 15" lengthwise. If you want to get an idea of how it might sit, have a friend tape a piece of legal paper to the back of your shirt(preferably without the words "kick me" written on it). The pack will be marginally bigger both horizontally and vertically, but you'll at least get an idea of how much space it will take up while wearing it which might help you make a decision. Hope this helps; let me know how it works out for you!

I think you'll be fine with this pack. It wasn't very big. As for space available, I used it to hike Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. I filled the bladder and still had room for a spare bottle, extra gloves, and snacks for the day.

Probably not a good idea as the pack is not quite that sturdy. I use mine for light day trips and hiking. I sometimes take my iPad and that's about the max size I would take. Hope this helps.

I'm 5"4, and certainly wider than a pre-teen, but overall average female build. The pack is on the narrower side, so it may be a good fit for a smaller-framed person.

I would have to say yes. Make sure you have a friend adjust the rods to the curvature of your back while you have the pack on. The chest strap and slide up and down to make it more comfortable for your anatomy. It's really quite a great pack for the price.

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

Its a perfect size:) I'm a 5'7 woman and it fits really nicely. Not too big which was my concern; I carried my sleeping bag, mat, tent, food, camping stove and my clothes. Since you're going to Europe you won't need have of what I packed. Have fun!

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.

I believe it would. I am no 115lb, but I am 5'4" and this pack is a very nice size for a day hike.

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.
