Hi Bubbly,
It still think you would be better of with a woman’s pack than a man’s backpack…women’s packs generally have sternum straps that are even more adjustable (so there is room for breasts), as well as more curved straps (a breast issue again), and hip belts that sit a little differently (since women’s hips are very different than men’s!)
The key really is the length of your spin. I’d recommend trying a few on in the store after getting your spine measured. This Everest 50+10 is a great women’s backpack, and I think it would likely be good for you. But the best thing if you are unsure is to try them on with weight inside and see if the pack weight is properly distributed along your hips. Big shoulders shouldn’t make a huge difference…except that you’ll have more strength to carry heavier loads!
Hope that helps!
This looks like a great pack, I am built a little more like a guy with broad shoulders, I have been looking at packs… not sure if I should pack a woman’s backpack or a mans?
Good luck Susan!
Thanks for the review. I need a backpack for a trip I’m planning this summer and I’ve struggled to find one to fit me. I’ll try to win one instead!
Thanks, Bobbi! Good luck 🙂
