I'm 6'5 with a long (26") torso. Right not I have a hellcat (Alice/molle) setup that gives me blisters on my back on on longer rucks. Anyone have recommendations for something that will fit better and not break the bank? I was looking at the USMC FILBE ruck but I hear it's no good for tall guys either.

Most of the mid to higher end civilian packs will come with an adjustable torso length. I'm 6'3" and quite happy with my Eberlestock GS2. I think I'm just short of maxed out on the torso adjustment, so it may work for you.

Mystery Ranch NICE frame packs are also adjustable for torso length.

I'm 6'2" and the Hill People Gear packs have always been good for me with plenty of adjustment range to go taller. I have the Lindi, Ute and Qui-Ya, haven't tried their other packs.

When not wearing armor, I really like the ILBE (not FILBE, the pack it replaced). Made by Arc'teryx. I am 6'3" and have only broken one when I had over 100lbs in the pack.

Looks like I can get a MR Terraframe 50 for 295 Shipped. Think I'm going to try that out.
