I used to have a perfect backpack for my computer and daily needs. It was a climbing backpack, so it was quite narrow at the bottom, and a little wider at the top. It was perfect because I'm 5'4", and while my shoulders are wide enough to be considered athletic-looking, they aren't particularly broad. That bag finally broke, and was discontinued, so I've been on the lookout for a couple of years for a replacement. I hoped this could be that replacement.

The problem is that while the bottom of the pack is nice and narrow (really nice for women), then top is so wide that it looks like a beetle back on my back. It's just too weird. I'm 50/50 on returning it, because I love the green color. If it had been the full price like on a certain recreational store's site, I would definitely return it.

The moral of the story is: if you're 5'6"+ then this bag will probably work really well for you. Just not ideal for the petite lady.
