I’m an average sized woman, wear a women’s Medium, but after a decade of one-bagging, I finally travelled through Japan and Singapore for a month with only a half full 20L Osprey Tempest this last summer. This included classical music performances that I played in and a hike up Mount Fuji, so lots of different clothing requirements.  I previously used the same bag to travel through Europe for 2.5 months and China for 3 weeks, but it was more full.  I totally get your clothes are larger, but a lot of it is in how smart you pack, and how much sink laundry you’re willing to do.   Every time I travel I get a little better at packing.

Been looking all night for reviews to see if anyone else is having my problem and you might just be the person to ask. My husband measured me and I'm a 17 inch torso. I ordered the md/lg tempest 20. I am having a hard time with fit. I have the panel all the way in. I am pear shaped and feel like in order to not have it resting on my butt I have to raise it up but then the belly strap ends up about 2 inches above my belly bottom. Would sizing down help? This whole pack just feels awkward however I've never worn any frame pack so I have nothing to compare it to.
