I called them last week. They said the pack was not suited for short torsos.
I'm built on the long torso, short legs, frame, 5'11" with a 30" inseam. I tried both the Elite Scout and pack that it replaced, the Elite, and felt that they were too short for my torso. That said, the people at Cabela's would know better than me.
L.L. Bean makes a short torso pack that might work for you, the Continental S, but I think that it is only about 1,200 cu. in. We have a couple of the larger Continental packs that we use for one or two day trips.
