Great 1-day backpack
I love this backpack for a day's hiking in the mountains. It's extremely lightweight, and the structure keeps most of the backpack away from your back, which is great if you get overheated or perspire a lot in that area. The only drawback is that though this backpack could conceivably carry enough for a 2-day hike, it feels much more uncomfortable once you have 15 pounds or above in the pack.

I bought this for my girlfriend - its a great fit! She especially likes the ventilation between the straps and the back pack...

Pack works great. Nice light weight, good small number of outside pockets to stash your "need to get at fast" stuff. We only went on an overnight and were thrilled with how much room there was. Shoulder straps did seem a little light. I came home with some bruises on the front of my shoulders. I am looking for a reason to purchase some other Osprey gear. The stretchy fabric is fab.

review on aura 50 pack
I'm 5'3" and I purchased a medium back pack and it fits perfect. I thought I was a small so make sure you try one on first with something in it. I took it on my first campout the other day. It was just an over nighter but we hiked up to the top of a mountain that was a few miles away. I LOVE THIS PACK. I've had about three or four others and they have all been a little uncomfortable at one place or other. This one was perfect. Felt great, plenty of room, loved the mesh back, hydro system, and pockets on sides. Definetely my favorite.
