I’m 5’6 but got measured at REI for 17.5 -18. I was between the small and medium sizes, went size up since I’m a bigger guy it feels good loaded with 24 lbs transferring weight to hips. Not the most experienced backpacker but looking for comments to see if this looks big and a smaller would be better. Once the pack had some weight I was actually able to look up and not smack my head against the pack lol
