Look into Six Moons Design with the bendable internal alum stays. With the air mattress in the back pouch gives you support and comfort they are awesome very light weight solution.

For some reason the shoulder strap does not contour to my shoulder. There is space towards the back under the shoulder strap. I have this problem with other brands as well. It is very frustrating. Would you know what is happening? At first it would seem that the pack is too long but I am already trying the short torso packs. The waist belt is resting on the hips. I had people help me at the stores. I am 5"6' so I am not petite and my torso looks proportionate to my body. I am really puzzled. Has anyone come across something like that before?
