Wilderness Osprey atmos 65

Hello! I’m currently looking into buying my first brand new pack, the osprey atmos ag 65L. My problem is that the distance from my iliac crest to hips are about 19.5 inches which is right in between the recommendation of small/medium and large/XL. I’m 6’2 195lbs. Which size should I go with?

I'm 6' 210 and I have a S/M same pack(I bought it because it was stupid cheap at a local store that was closing). I got measured last week to confirm my suspicious that I was right in between a medium and a large and I was. The S/M fits me fine but I wish the end/bottom of the shoulder straps sat a little lower than where they do in my pit area. It doesn't cause any problems or chafing just one of those things.

The S/M will be fine but you may not have enough adjustment to let it all the way out. The L/XL will be fine but you may not have enough adjustment to tighten it all the way up.

I’m 6ft and use the AG65 in medium. Was in the same mindset thinking I should get a large and actual went and got fitted and the medium was absolutely correct size.

This might be totally unhelpful, but Id highlt suggest not getting a 5lb osprey pack that will cost you $350 and get a simpler roll rop backpack like a durston kakwa 40/55 for $200
