Question:
I'm confused about the torso lengths for this?
Answer:
When choosing the size of a hiking backpack, it’s important to take into account your body shape. The backpack size should be adapted to your back. It’s measured from the base of your neck to your hips and the grip of the stomach strap should be comfortable on your hips. How to accurately measure your torso for optimal backpack fit? To ascertain this crucial measurement, enlist the help of a friend and have a pliable tape measure on hand. Bend your head forward and locate the bony protrusion where your shoulder slope meets your neck—the 7th cervical (C7) vertebra, marking the top of your torso length. On either side of your body, run your hands down the ribcage to the apex of your hip bones (known as the iliac crest). Align your index fingers forward and your thumbs backward, creating an imaginary line between them. The point on your lumbar region where this line intersects is the base of your torso measurement. Maintain an upright posture, and ask your friend to measure the distance between the C7 and the imaginary line formed by your thumbs. This measurement constitutes your torso length.

Product Customer Reviews
I was able to adjust and pack all that I needed into this back pack. It has plenty of straps and pockets to give versatility. One of those rucksacks which you learn better how to pack, more efficiently, every time you use it. I am quite a small lady (Size 8/10 UK 164cm tall). I was able to adjust the straps to make the harness and waist belt fit reasonably well and spread the load, so all the weight wasn't solely hanging on my shoulders and compressing my back. If I were smaller, I think I might look more towards a youths fit because it would be tricky to comfortably adjust for much smaller body. This is something those of us who are of smaller build (whether men or women) need to consider when buying a rucksack. The quality is good but it is lightweight, and therefore buckles etc are small and potentially open to crush damage. Comes with a rain cover, which I thought was a nice touch.
perfect for Duke of Ed expedition
None of the stores nearby had it in stock to try it on, so ordered online expecting the Decathlon quality of other items purchased for years now, but sadly the backpack ruined my one-day hike. Got back with sore shoulders and neck, mesh padding very cheaply made so rubbed into my skin. Hip fins extremely rigid, dug into my hips no matter how l tried to adjust them. Lid weirdly sewn on frame, keeps hitting back of neck. Not a beginner, l know how to adjust straps, distribute weight and compress pack. Totally surprised by how bad this backpack is, while not the cheapest in its range. Now struggling to return, as didn't keep the tags, so probably stuck with it.
Difficult to adjust to be comfortable
Recommended by a seller, I took this bag for a 4-day hike on the Camino de Santiago, bag filled to 7kg. I lived the first 15 km in horror, the metal frames dug into my hips, causing me 2 big bruises on each side, I adjusted otherwise but the bag is certainly not made for girls measuring 1m60... 4 days where I hated carrying this bag... Only positive point it is very functional, full of pockets to store everything and the fact of not having the back stuck to the bag means not to have sweat on the back
Good value for money. Lots of pockets. Very practical.
Great backpack that means my back is no longer wet when hiking. Plenty of storage and easy access to the central pocket. Comfortable to carry. The only little extra I would have liked was a pocket big enough to store my phone.
5 days of backpacking with the bag loaded to 8kg. The XS back adjustment needs to be checked regularly because it doesn't hold. Despite this, my daughter (who is an adult) had bruises on her hips from the first day because of the underwires located at the bottom of the bag, and pain during the 5 days made carrying it completely uncomfortable. And yet she had tried it on in the store with the weights. This bag may not be suitable for people who are 1.60m tall, but in that case, it should be mentioned. I absolutely do not recommend this bag.
For my part, my sleeping bag didn't fit at the bottom of the bag because of the frame. On the other hand, it is very pleasant and comfortable to wear. The adjustment according to the person's size is easy to use.
Practical, complete, comfortable...
great backpack for long hikes. has many compartments, and thanks to the frame and hip belt you practically don't feel the weight on your back
Bag used during a 6-day hike. Practical, lightweight, I recommend it.

How to pack a backpack?
Put your bedding at the bottom. Put heavy gear (tent, camp stove, food) near your back. Store your clothing around it. A groundsheet or tent can be placed under the flap or under the bag if there isn't room inside. Keep your waterproof jacket and fleece to hand. Place small items for daily use (sun cream, map, glasses etc.) in the pockets. The water bladder can be placed in the compartment provided down the back.
How to use the multi-use straps?
The new range of MT500 AIR and MT900 UL bags has two straps with open aluminium buckles (on the lower part of the bag). These straps let you hook on a tent or mattress under the bag or on the barrel. If not in use, these straps can be stored (by pushing them inside) in the hidden pocket intended for this or detached and used elsewhere with the lark's head knot buckle.
Female body shape
Our women's models are adapted to their body shape (chest and hips) with a more open shoulder strap shape and a higher fitted belt for greater comfort and freedom of movement.
