I bought a backpack that has this too wide for me (it is designed to fit someone with wider chest and shoulders), and it's really uncomfortable to wear when I'm carrying heavier stuff. And it's usually not adjustable. | |

As an overweight man, I feel having a narrow waist and wide hips would at least make most packs more comfortable. Could possibly make a difference for the style of hip belt that's most comfortable. | |

| Apr 12, 2018 at 14:04 | comment | added | Jeroen | Also not a full answer, but regarding your question of even considering those backpacks with your length: Yes. My girlfriend is 1.78 as well and currently uses a 'female' backpack that fitted her better, but chose so after trying both male and female models. (I believe it's an Osprey Zenith for what it's worth). | |

| Apr 12, 2018 at 13:12 | comment | added | anderas | As a note (not enough for answer): Deuter generally advertises their SL series backpacks as women's backpacks, but explicitly states that they also fit slim males well. So I would guess that the opposite should be true, too: Don't be discouraged by marketing decisions, if male packs fit, there is no need to explicitly search for a "female pack". (WRT the chest strap: The location is adjustable on all my packs.) | |
