Ok so, I'm not all that tall (5' 6") but I have a pretty long torso for my size (18 inches). Should I stick to looking at women's packs or is it not going to matter that much? I would check out stores around here to try some on, but there really aren't many places, and most of them are at least a 30 to 45 minute drive (don't ask me why, it's not like I'm in a small town)and not geared to backpacks. So most likely I'll be buying off the net, and I need a good starting place.
Also, what size would be good for a roughly monthlong trip in Europe during December/Jan? We're planning to go to Paris, England, Germany, and Amsterdam if that helps. I know it will be plenty cold (especially to a Florida girl) and want to make sure I've got the room to pack cold weather gear.
