Hi ladies! Anyone have recommendations for a 75-100L pack for a 5-6 day mountaineering trip? Bag needs to hold ice picks, crampons, rope, food, cloths, helmet, and the team is splitting things like tents etc. Looking for something streamlined and light, since pack weight is an important issue. I’m 5’3″, 135. There is so much out there and a lot of stores don’t carry all the options in-store, so some of the options I’m just going off descriptions on websites. Would love to hear what bag you women like (or don’t like). Thanks in advance!

I just bought the Hyperlight Headwall. We’re about the same size and I’m intending to use it for the same purpose. I’ll let you know how it goes!

I have the mountain hardwear AMG bag 105l. Im 5’3″ 155ish and have a hard time getting the hip belt tight enough to keep the weight off my shoulders. Helps more with added layers. I do have a small waist, all the weight is in my legs and ass ? i did cary 74lbs in it but it cut my hip bones so bad, better with weight under 60lbs.
