Aug 30, 2014 at 1:06 comment added michel-slm @hippietrail as a guy with a small build I should investigate women backpack more then!
Aug 26, 2014 at 2:34 comment added hippietrail There is a structural element due to differences in typical male and female physiologies, but there is also a marketing element. Companies making women's backpacks that are different from their men's backpacks only in their naming and colour choices would be taking a pretty cynical approach. I'm a guy but my current backpack is a women's backpack because the girl who bought it decided it was too big for her. It's by a big name brand though so surely does have structural differences but works great for me since it was free (-:

Aug 26, 2014 at 1:36 comment added Jumbogram @TimS.: In this case it's the exact opposite of that. Same with bicycles (designed for a different leg length/torso length ratio) and sleeping bags (designed for a different rate of loss of body heat). Probably many more items, but those are the first to come to mind.

Aug 25, 2014 at 9:33 comment added Nean Der Thal Men's have wider shoulders and upper backs, while women have narrower ones, this might be the key feature in designing women's and men's backpacks.
