I'd like to buy a ULA Circuit but I'm not sure which size to go for. I'm in the UK where it's not so easy to try before buying a pack. I am just under 5'7" with a torso of 17". And I'm pretty slim. Wondering if there are any Circuit users with the same measurements who can tell what size they use. I've made mistakes with the size of a pack in the past, and found the hipbelt riding too low. Thanks!

The good news about the ULA packs is that you have quite a bit of adjustment in terms of the placement of the hipbelt. You sound like a sound medium (I'm 5'7" and I have a torso of 19" and the medium is a teensy bit small – but I can make do with adjusting the help belt down a bit) Ask Chris at ULA tho…he's very helpful about such things.

Miles, if you buy the Circuit at UltraLightOutdoorGear (a UK webshop) it would be very easy to return the pack in case it doesn't fit.

Myles, I recently decided on getting a ULA Circuit and thought based on my height (5'5") and a torso of 18" that I needed a small. I called ULA and talked to Chris, he asked me some other body size questions (inseam, weight etc…) and recommended I get a medium. I bought a medium pack with a medium belt and received it the other day, it fits great. Might be a good idea to call ULA and see what they recommend. Regards Kurt

call ULA – they should be able to provide all the insight you need. FWIW – my torso is 18.5" and I max out the adjustment on my Ohm 2.0 for it to fit me comfortably.

Thanks everyone. I've mailed Chris to see what be thinks. I think I have a high illiac-thingy crest which pokes out the top of hipbelts, plus narrow and straight hips so belts slip down easily. But so many happy Circuit users it looks like I might get lucky this time. The oher pack I'm considering is the Mariposa, but by most accounts it doesn't handle loads as well as the Circuit.
