My only objection to this product was a total deal-breaker for me. The "one size" seems to be for someone with a very long torso and/or very large frame. I'm 5'3 to 5'4"-ish and kinda Medium sized.
I'm happy to adjust the fit using the usual daypack adjustment straps. This pack had these, but I felt that the range of adjustment was too limited. It may be difficult to make a large range of adjustments happen in female-friendly ways, so that may be why the range was limited. Tell the product manager to break this product into two sizes, or to market it more clearly. That would save everyone time and money.
So, the biggest problem that I had was the huge amount of length between the top of the shoulder straps and the highest possible place you can put the sternum strap. With the sternum strap across my sternum (as opposed to across somewhere lower, no thank you!), the shoulder straps were riding about 2-3" above my shoulders. I tried loading the pack to see if that helped. Nope.
The other problem I had was that when adjusting to shorten below the bustline, as well as when adjusting the waist strap in, the rather broad shoulder straps tended to scythe in at the sides. Way not female-friendly.
Too bad, as I just loved this product "on paper." Great & very thoughtful design of compartments and pockets, good color, nice price. Hence there are some stars (two).
If you have a long torso or large frame and have turn-around time to risk a return, give it a whirl. Otherwise beware.
Amazon's online return process was real easy to follow -- just a few clicks and print a label. Kudos there.

Purchased this for my wife. She plans to use it for day hikes with the scouts. She is tall and was having problems getting a pack to fit right. This one fits her perfect, and she liked the padded straps, and the many divied compartments.

My Walmart backpack busted on the walk home from work while holding a ton of groceries. So I decided to get a better pack, this is decent for the price. It fits really well on me, although I wish it opened a bit wider and didn't have so many tiny compartments as soon as you open it but other than that the stiff hmpd back pad is so nice!
