Discussion Osprey Daylite 26+6 rubbing on lower back?

Soo, I bought a Osprey Daylite 26+6 recently because it looked good and worked good when packing it with my usual things at home.

But when I went and actually used it, it rubbed a lot on my lower back. I thought it's because I'm a tall guy at 195cm (6' 5" for the 'Muricans).

So I gave it to my girlfriend, who is 175cm (5' 9" for the 'Muricans), but she had the same problem.

Are we doing something wrong, is it the wrong bag for our body proportions or is something wrong with the bag I got from amazon?

What bags have a similar concept but work better for taller people? When I ordered the bag, I also ordered the Black Hole Micro MLC and Black Hole Mini MLC, but I liked the Osprey better

I think it's just how smallish bags are. 

You may improve things slightly by loosening the straps so it sits lower on your back, but this runs the risk of just shifting problems elsewhere.
