In an ongoing effort to fit my wife w/ a UL pack, I'm wondering if any of you or your significant others have the small version of the Exodus. My wife is 5'2" and we have tried GoLite and Granite Gear to no avail. The packs are too big and the weight is sitting on her shoulders. We have been looking for a loadlifter equipped pack due to a shoulder issue she has. One of her shoulders is smaller (childhood radiation side effect) and she has to tweak her shoulder straps/lifters to get the load just right on that shoulder. We are also trying to stay around 3500 cu. in. The SMD Starlight is too big and the panel loading Traveler isn't what we want. I've heard lots of good about MLD packs, but I'm skeptical of the absence of load lifters. I'm also concerned that the sizing of the Exodus says 5'3" as the bottom of the size small. I know the prophet comes in an XS(child size). Unfortunately, this pack is not quite big enough for the longer runs we want to use it for. Before I hit up MLD about a custom sized Exodus, I would like to see if I can find some input from the BPL community. Thanks.
