I bought this pack primarily to carry my gear for my job as an ecologist and monitoring specialist. I needed something that could carry field books, a clipboard, camera, GPS unit, hydration pack and extra clothes, without squashing my lunch! I love this pack because it has a number of separate compartments so I can keep everything organized and not end up with a gooey ball of peanut butter and jelly dough where once I had a sandwich.
The pack fits so well that I hardly even know I'm carrying extra weight. I've tried many packs and this one fits better than any I've had in years. It sits just right on my hip bone rather than in the middle of my back and the shoulder straps don't pinch my neck.
My only complaint is that the zippered opening on the main compartment is a little small making it hard to pack bulky items like my clipboard.

The only pack I found that comes in XS
By greyowl from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada on 9/11/2007
Pros:
Comfortable, Easy To Load, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Day Hikes, Light Loads
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I searched high and low to find a pack that would fit my 15" torso. The XS size is just perfect for me. The pack looks good, is light, fits comfortably against the back and shoulders and doesn't ride up against the neck like so many other packs I tried on. The hip/waist belt is also very comfortable and provides great support. I do fairly long day hikes (two per week on average) - the Gregory Iris packs all my essentials as well as extra clothes with room to spare. I love this pack.
