I have tried one, the medium fits me perfectly. It has a camelback and ventilation. Both are important to me here in florida. I had never really thought about this whole thing a whole lot. But am doing a lot of walking lately and now find myself looking at doing the Fla Trail in the late fall. So I was up at Bill Jackson's looking at packs. Women's packs just are uncomfortable, this one seemed to fit my bill..but I wanted to ask the 'experts' here.

I would hardly call myself an "expert" but Osprey packs are highly regarded in the backpacking world. Fit is very important and if that one works for you I don't think you can go wrong with it. I have an old Osprey that I'm very happy with.

The downside to that pack is that it's pretty small. If you're planning on doing more than a dayhike or maybe an overnight stay you'll probably wish you had something larger.
