riot - 2009-04-08Great pack for little hikers
I bought this pack for my 4yo son. He is a 5t-6t, about 47" tall and 49lbs....in other words he's a big 4yo. Anyways, with the pack on it smallest setting he was able to carry his TNF sleepingbag, rain gear, a fleece sweater and extra socks along with his water. Total weight was about 10lbs. The sleeping bag took almost all of the pack so he is limited to just a small amount of clothes which is good for a young tike. He loves the pack (mostly because it's blue) and it doesn't bother him at all. We were set to go on an overnight with it but had to cancel. But so far everything looks good. The nicest thing is the pack will grow with him.
Bottom line: An exceptional pack from Osprey for the miniature sized hikers in the family.
Darren - 2008-12-31Excellent pack for smaller children as they grow
I bought this pack for my 5 year old daughter. She wears 5T/6T clothing. This pack fits her great in it's smallest setting. The setting is very adjustable and should fit her for a few more years with ease. My daughter loves this pack and is wearing it all around the house almost daily. We packed a normal sized pillow into it and the pack swallowed it easily. This is what you expect from an osprey pack. It has all the normal features of any pack, just in a smaller scale. I will buy another when my other daughter gets bigger.

Sizing Chart
Step 1 - Pack Sizing
All Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).
Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing
To determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.
| Torso Length | Pack Size | Hip Measurement | Hipbelt Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| > 22" | XLarge | > 36" | XLarge |
| 20-22.5" | Large | 33-37" | L or WL |
| 18-20.5" | Medium | 30-34" | M or WM |
| 16-18.5" | Small | 27-31" | S or WS |

ErgoPull
Nearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.
Step 3 - Harness
Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).
| Men's | SM | MD | Large | XLarge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women's | WXS | WSM | WM | WL |
Step 4 - Overall Fit
Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.
In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
