Crossover teen/women's pack?

[Sled]

So, my 13 year old son drew a LE rifle elk tag and a cow moose this year and the wife drew a cow elk. Now the kid is only a couple inches taller than the wife but he'll be out growing the pack by next year. So, my thought is to buy my 5'1" wife a pack that the kid will use this year. The question is, which small frame packs can do double duty for a season or two? Cost is a factor so I'd like to stay under $400, preferably less with discounts.

There was a guy in the classifieds that was trying to sell a Blacks Creek Pack that was his wife's......you should do a search and find it he was practically giving it away.

Alright I was wrong....he sold it.

But this guy still might have his for sale.

WTS - Blacks Creek Guide Gear - Grip Frame w/Alternative Pack

Looking to sell my Blacks Creek Guide Gear pack. It has their Grip Frame which is good for 5'-10"+ people with the Alternative Pack (3000 cu.in.). The frame can be used independently to haul out your load or you can strap your pack with the load between. This frame is designed to haul heavy...

It’s going to be over $400, but Exo makes a pack for women and kids.

I've got the small EXO 3200 for my 12yr old. Works great for backpacking and hunting, he loves it.

Exo (will have to call them) and will be over budget.

Western Edge Gear, not used them, but will come in right at budget and they look solid.

The mini exo packs are awesome! A friend got one for his kids and they're a full quality smaller version of their packs.

Western Edge Gear makes quality packs geared towards smaller people. (Kids/women)

My kid used one for multiple years with zero issues. Now he is taller than me so he will use a full size pack this year. I use a Western Edge lid with my Kifaru. It’s a better design than the different Kifaru lids I have. And it’s held up just like my Kifaru pack/pockets/frame has.

I would definitely check them out since their packs hold up, are designed for your application, and I believe in your price range.

Here’s a pic when he was smaller than his mom still, with his first elk and Western Edge pack. It was about 1700’ gain and 2 miles to the cow.

You can fit a seek pack to any person.
