I have always carried Gregory Packs and I thought they fit well. Until I tried the Tempest 20 L Extended Fit. I cannot believe a pack can be so comfortable! I can fit everything I need for a day hike with room to spare. It didn't come with a water bladder so I use the bladder from my Gregory pack which works great. At the end of a recent hike, we sat down to eat and my husband asked me if I was going to take my pack off. I actually forgot I was wearing it! Best pack I have ever owned for a plus size, short woman. And I love that it is black. I do not like girly colors. Now I am holding my breath for Osprey to make an Extended Size of the Sirrus 34 L or 36 L. Please! Thank you for making packs for the ""not so average sized"" hiker.
