womens' fit packs

[[e-mail]]

hey there,

well, I think I will definately buy an Eagle Creek pack, can't go wrong with the warranty. But I had a question, a lot of the women's fit packs are a bit more expensive (meaning there are cheaper packs but none are made for females), so is it worth it to get the womens' fit? Or will I find the regualr ones just as comfortable. thanx

I personally find the womens fit more comfortable as it is more suited to a women's body. The torso length is shorter, the shoulder pads are scaled down and the hip belts fit better.

That said, the regular one won't be uncomfortable, it just might not fit you as snug. If you are only going for a week or two, it won't be as big as a deal but if you are going for an extended amount of time or are planning a longer trip for the future as well, go with the womens fit.

I bought the Eagle Creek World Traveller in the women's fit version.  It wasn't a bit higher than the men's??  And they had to special order it for me as the shop did not have it in stock.  I was really glad I did as I am just 5'0' and the shorter torso was way more comfortable.  Can't imagine why they are charging you more.....shop around some more.
