Unfortunately, Zpacks discontinued their pack for smaller women (Scout) and currently only have a 60L women's pack. Their Women's Scout is still available in the Bargain Bin until the old stock is sold off, though.

I’ve a new and unused Atom+ 40 in Small, if you’re interested. I am 5 ft 2 with a short back so it could work well for your intended user.

(Reason I haven’t used it is because I went with a 50 instead, not because there’s anything wrong with the pack, which I actually find incredibly comfy for its weight.)

Thank you, a good option if I can't find something else that fits but a little over the budget for now.
Thank you for mentioning - will keep an eye out for something local (UK).
Thank you for mentioning - they look great packs but suspect it will be over budget now.

What is your back length ?

= 16" in old money.
Golite womens packs used to quote 15" upwards for their small size.
I have a back length 16" and the Golite W's small fits me. (hence me being a fan of their packs
)However, occasional appearances on Ebay is the only place you will find them .....
Unless a "Wanted" on here brings up any ??

There is a complication with the way Golite labelled their womens packs .....Thank you Cathy, nice to have another option.
We have a couple months until the first real trip so will set a saved search on eBay in case one shows up
They used to label mens as L or M and womens as S or M (as appropriate0
For the later few years they changed the womens labelling to M or L ( I guess to mirror the mens).
So a S is definately a womens small, but a pack labelled M could be either - a mens M, a womans M (large) or a womans M (small) .....
Just ask the seller to measure the exact length from the bottom to the where the straps attach.
This pack is probably a bit smaller than what you where after but I have one myself and as a day sack it's like a limpet on your back - recomended
