I know this is a stretch but I figured I would throw it out there just in case. I am really set on getting a new pack this off season. Pretty much set on a Bikini with a Hichcamp bag but I would like to see a Stone Glacier if possible. The big concern for me is my back is a bit odd. I have no butt to speak of but I most definitely don't have a flat back. The middle of my back bulges quite a bit, I guess I have large lower Lats or something. Perhaps from my younger years working for a moving company.
Anyway, as with most people, I am hesitant to plop down a sizable chunk of cash for something that may not be for me. Moreover, I am wondering if the aluminum stay option might be a better choice so I could tweak it if necessary. Hopefully there is someone close by that has a pack I could check out. Honestly, even if it was a duplex, I would like to give it a test drive. My waist is 34-36" (more on the 36" size right now) so I guess I would be looking for a medium belt, right? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.
