I need to use my REI coupon and am hoping to get a backpack with it!

Can anyone recommend any of the women-specific packs online?

Also looking for new daypack.
Any of these you'd personally recommend?

Thank you!
Can't wait to get out hiking again this spring!

Or if you know of any review sites for backpacks I'd love that info too!
Thanks!

the osprey backpack is awesome. i have the atmos (i'm 5'4", 145 lbs), but my friend who is smaller-framed than me (5'2", 100 lbs) has the aura women's version and loves it.

Welcome to the site flowergirl!

What do you suppose is around that next bend?

Evidently posts with links aren't going to post right now. Google backpackgeartest.org, backpackinglight.com reader reviews and Mark Verber's Recommended Outdoor Gear. Packs, like shoes, need to be individually fitted. Take the rest of your gear with you to be sure it will fit.

thanks for the welcome. i've had problems uploading pictures. is this a site-specific issue, or is it just me?

I recently purchased this Kelty backpack, I'm 5'2.5" , and it is working great for me. Plus Sierra Trading Post is having a great sale right now, check them out!    http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,84043_Kelty-Redwing-Backpack-LE-2500-For-Women.html
