Gregory Jade 28 LT RC midnight navy (1552)

Overall a well built and comfortable pack, however isn't really a day pack, unless you are in cold temperatures. I say this because I bought it specifically for day hikes for a trip to Iceland. I tested it on short hikes at home and found that I never filled it and it was heavier than I wanted. For day hikes I found a 20-24 capacity fine and then didn't need the heavy inner structure. It's really personal, and since I struggled to find a pack, wanted to weigh in here. I would opt for a light and smaller overall pack for day hikes. My sister in law took the Arrio 24, which is smaller and lighter and I would buy that next time.I have a smaller frame but average size torso at 5'2".

This is my first backpack from Gregory and very pleased

I’m 5 foot 2 and about 140 pounds this pack is incredible for day hike especially when it’s hot, the mesh keeps the pack off of you. it’s like luxury suspension on this thing

This is a pretty terrible pack. I have 30 years hiking and backpacking experience and know how to fit a pack to my frame and the physics of packing. No matter how it was loaded, or the straps and load lifters were adjusted, the pack pulled back hard pressing on my collarbones. It also swayed side to side as I walked rubbing my shoulders raw. The side pockets are not easy to access for a water bottle. The arm straps curl to the outside rubbing the inside of the arms they swing. I adjusted this thing 8 ways from Sunday and could never get it comfortable. Are people just putting up with this?

Der Rucksack ist sehr wertig, gut durchdacht und ich hätte ihn sehr gerne behalten. Leider musste ich ihn zurück schicken, da die Träger zu lang für mich waren und mein Bauchumfang etwas zu gering war für den Bauchgurt.
