The large model fits me and I'm 6'2" and weigh about 200 lbs. The capacity
of the large model is 3300 cu, but that seemed plenty for me. With my
sleeping bag lashed under the pack bag, and my tent on top of it, there was
tons of room left for the rest of my gear and food. In fact, I've actually
moved to a smaller bag now: the North Face Exocet.
