Got a pack and the promise of boots for Christmas from Dad. I took the pack into REI to have it sized and they told me that i have a long torso. (When your 5' 3" all you hear in that is that you have short stumpy legs.) None of the backpacks seem to fit me quite right, which is keeping right in line with boot shopping. I cant decide if i have an incredibly unique body or some sort of passive-aggressive aversion to training. I vow to keep looking for the right fit in both.
