The packs in this series are useful when you have heavier loads or a high volume of gear to carry. Examples include cold-weather trips where additional clothes and gear are required; long trips (> one week) without resupply points; or where one person is carrying gear for others as well - Dad carrying Mom's and the kid's stuff, for example. We've had a few customers take these larger packs to Europe when they wanted more room to bring back gifts. The typical pack in this line will have capacity or 70-85 liters.
This high-capacity pack has a lot of comfortable padding, with more frame support to accommodate heavier and/or larger loads on your hips rather than sagging in on your shoulders. These will be heavier that our more commonly rented packs, with beefier frames and more durable materials. For most solo packers, we suggest renting a medium-capacity pack for typical backpacking trips, unless you fall into one of the needs above. If you expect heavy rains on your trip, please note that while our packs are water resistant, they are not waterproof, but you can select a rain covers to include with the rental.
Most packs we rent have an adjustable shoulder harness, so the packs can be adjusted to most "torso lengths" unless you're really super tall or a child. What's a torso to a backpack? It's the length along your spine, starting at the top at your C7 vertebrae - that bone at the base of your neck that sticks out when you bend your head forward. Measure down your spine to a point on your lower back even with those hip bones that stick out and support your spare tire - the iliac crest is what that's called. It's tricky to measure yourself, so get a friend with a measuring tape to help you figure it out. For a picture/diagram of how to measure your torso, see here. As long as you're between 15 - 21 inches (most adults are) these packs should fit fine. See more about fitting and loading this particular rental pack.
We also have a few packs available that are designed for women, although nearly all packs are reasonably unisex in comfort, form and function. We have some that will fit kids as well - call for details. Sometimes, a standard backpack isn't what you need, and sometimes you need a pack for your pack - like when traveling airlines or want to get everything into one carry bag.

We also sell some of our rental packs, as well as traded-in and consigned packs, as used gear at a great price.

Note - this item has a high volume-to-weight ratio - that is, it may be light, but it eats up a lot of box space.
