    I used to work at a sporting goods store. People would come in, get measured and fitted for packs and then write down everything and leave. You know they were going to buy on line. One time it was a family of five and I spent over an hour on them. It was frustrating.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight; your tactics suck.

    GG was super cool and exchanged a regular torso with me. It also solved the color issue as all they had was blue, lol.

    Much better fit, I also swapped out for the correct shoulder harness bar, shoulder straps, and hip belt.

    VERY adjustable pack, just what I was looking for.

    I do wish it had some more pockets for organization, but I'll live.

    really depends on what pack you are buying and its adjustability.

    The 'expert' pack fitters at the outfitters are just going to measure you with a tape measure, something you can do at home.
