About What is your torso length? I’m not sure if plagioclase is trying to say this but, I think I am, and that is I think the 22 in frame will still be fairly long on my 17 in torso. That is 5 inches above my shoulders.
I am in the exact predicament as you! I haven’t made a decision yet. I’m leaning to the 22 in frame. I have used EXO short frame which is 23 inches I believe and it still felt I had a lot of lift height with the load lifters. I have sold the EXO as it constantly slipped down my back.
