I love this pack. I have a longer torso and I'm tall (5'11"), and I looked around quite a bit to find one that fit me correctly. I avoid women specific packs for this reason also. Has my top things for a day hike: comfort and hydration.
Haven't used it for biking yet, but it would do a great job for a long bike ride.
