Hello experts on backcountry grear!
I've been looking for about a year for a ski-pack that would fit a woman
like me (4'11") with a tiny torso. The closest I have come so far to finding
the pack of my dreams is a Life-Link "Boundry" pack (that i have stolen from
someone and now have to give back). Do any of the super-cool backcountry
girls out there have any other ideas? (the boys can have ideas, too, but
remember that im a dwarf!)
_ You might look into "hydration packs" some of them are quite
short. They probably don't have enough volume though. The
Lowe Durango is pretty short. I've been using it as a chairlift
pack since I can carry it high enough to not hit the back of the
chair.
_ I recently got a Vaude pack for my 3 year old daughter. For
her it's a full blown packpack, but was designed as a "hydration
pack". It has these very cool adjustable straps that adjust on
both ends. They make a bunch of overdesigned hydration packs that
might fit your bill. Check out this site:

_ I'm guessing you're going to have to start with a frame
that fits and do some customization. Actually, as I look
at that page some more it looks like some of the larger
VauDe packs might work for you as well. This one
features the same adjustable strap system.

P.S. Any snow yet?
