I use this product to provide strength and endurance during walking/hiking through a field for exercise. I kept having to pull it down from my shoulders because I could not adjust to my fit. The only pockets that were in reach to me were the front (small!!!) web type pockets which are totally useless for USEFUL items. I could reach the water bottle on the side if I stopped moving and really stretched to reach. I do not know how they could re-organize the pack to accomodate these features for a woman. Because this is my first internal frame backpack, I am proud of it and would not have been able to carry 40 lbs. of extra stuff otherwise. I would recommend this pack. I used my husband's camo backpack and it was awful compared to this. I do not want my assessment to be negative, actually, it is to be positive because I could not have carried 40 lbs in a regular backpack. The next day, I would feel pains only in the way that I exercised. I had muscle soreness in my calves, butt, and thighs but NOT in my back or shoulders. That is a big plus for this backpack.
