For small weekend overnighters or big days out, the women's-specific Kyte 48 is a 48-liter, rucksack style pack made to haul heavy gear through challenging environments. If you need a pack that can handle punishing granite slogs, scree-covered summits, or hauling your gear for a day of trail work, the Kyte can manage all that and more.

Sizing and Fitting of your Osprey Pack
Fit is the key to pack performance. Take the time to get it right.
Most Osprey packs are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine (as shown in the picture below) from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).

Use the table below to determine your pack size.
