This has been a decent pack for my daughter, age 13, 155lb, 5'1". She has carried up to 25 lbs with no major complaints. Worst feature - the straps are set a bit too narrow for her frame, so they rub a bit on her neck. A good choice (if you can find it - it's no longer in their regular line) for a beginning junior backpacker, or small framed women hiker.
