I'm looking for a climbing pack that I can take on weekend trips (2-3 nights). I have a thin (29-31) waist and plan to haul all climbing gear ie rack, rope, harness, as well as clothes, sleeping back, etc. Let me know what you've got!
I have an extra USMC ILBE pack. Let me know if you are interested. Information on the pack can be found here ilbepack.com/ilbe-pack/.
I'm about 5'10 with the same waist as you and it fits great. It's a little heavier than most packs but I don't mind and it makes up for it with it's durabilty and the MOLLE allows you to add any amount of storage by adding pouches.
