Title: Boo, my post got lost, please repost! - Backpack for Backpacking Women?
Post by: luvmystang67 on June 05, 2012, 02:48:42 PM: Sorry, I had a post on here earlier and I can't remember my exact phrasing, but there were some replies that I couldn't see cause the server crashed.. but:

Looking for some good suggestions for more hiking backpacking style packs for women. My girlfriend might want to pack up with me for bears this late summer and I'm looking for a good pack for her. Not necessarily a meat hauler, general hiking is fine. Shes pretty small framed, 5'5" and just not all that big. Any suggestions? Been looking at the Osprey packs a little.

Thanks!

It appears some of the earlier posts today were lost in the recovery, sorry about that. Hopefully everyone will repost their advice. :tup:
