Arc'teryx Maia 50 Backpack - 2865-3234 cu in - Women's information:

The Arc'teryx Maia 50 Women's Backpack holds plenty of gear for a three-day trip and carries comfortably. Oh yeah, did we mention it's completely waterproof? That's right. The Maia 50 Backpack uses waterproof 420ACT fabric, seam-sealed construction, and a roll-top closure to keep out every speck of moisture. Arc'teryx included a pivoting waist-belt and adjustable shoulder straps to ensure this overnight backpack fits correctly as you hike in the rain or snow. This ultra-sleek design also includes a low-profile front pocket and two lid pockets to keep your necessities organized.

Good Pack
I should start off by saying I am a man, not a woman. But weighing less than 120 pounds with a 28 inch waist the men's version of this pack did not fit right -- especially in the hip belt. Downsides: (1) The pack is not especially light -- and I felt it on the trail. If you want a light pack get an Osprey. (2) The pack is quite expensive -- you'd have to look hard to find more pricey gear at 50 liters. This pack is for the truly self indulgent (yep, that's me). Upsides: (1) It's waterproof. (2) It has a simple, clean design without all those fussy little details that crowd cheaper gear trying hard to look expensive. (3) It's tough and very well made. (4) It looks great. The colors are a bit of a stretch -- I wouldn't be seen carrying a lime green pack and I'm quite in touch with my "feminine side." But the sapphire one was tolerable yet distinctive. I wish I was buying the thing now -- $50 off regular price is better than a kick in the teeth.

Finally, a cute backpack
I love Arc'teryx packs, always have. When it was time to replace my old one, I went straight to the Arc'teryx options. When I bought my first one ages ago, there were no women's options, and there were black or black. Now, with women's specific packs and cute colors, I want to use it all the time. Men, take note, get your girl a cute pack and she'll want to go out more! Anyway, this pack is spectacular! The fabric was super waterproof and durable. It was actually light too. My old one was 1/3 of my weight and this guy was like a feather! The zippers are all sealed and nice. I got the lime color and it is too cute!
