By Jeff from Canton, GA on 08/07/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Best Uses: Backpacking, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This was my first internal frame pack. Before this I had a Kelty Super Cirque and was not sure how I would like the shift to internal.
It fit great, very adjustable, stable, and plenty of room for even my bulky old school gear. It carries 35 to 45 lbs very comfortably, but anything over the 40 lbs mark seems to flaex it pretty heavily.
The only cons are the front zipper can be a little agrevating with a full load, but I have gotten to the point of doing everything through the top anyway.
I am sure there are better packs out there, but this one has been a really nice introduction to internal frames, and I would highly suggest it.
By Tiny Tina from Berkeley, Ca on 08/06/2008 Pros: Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I went on my first backpacking trip in the eastern sierras where I had to hike 3 miles about 1000 feet up. It had many different access points and made finding things very easy. This pack made hiking a breeze and is a keeper.
So GREAT I'm buying my it again! By Goddess of Love from Portland Oregon on 08/05/2008 Pros: Durable, Extremely comfortable, Good Back Support, Good Padding Best Uses: Airline Travel, Backpacking, Extended Travel, Great Day Pack, Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I first bought this pack in 2005 for a trip to Borneo to do habitat mapping for Orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park. It was thoroughly abused on that month long trip, wading through swamps and the jungle in 90 degree weather with 100% humidity. This pack breathes well and I was never uncomfortable; well..maybe from the leaches but not from the pack. It held up great for this and other field research over two years.
My favorite features, beside comfort, were the angled water bottle holder and the little zipper pockets in the waist strap. I could keep up with the Dayak guides and still get a snack or my water bottle without having to stop and take off my pack or ask someone to get out my water bottle. Also, the fact that it's proportioned to fit a 5'2" womans body is awesome. The XS fit me like a glove.
Sadly my first one was stolen and I have wished for it back many times. Now I'm preparing to go to Tinian to do some bird surveys and I'm so happy to have found this pack on-line! It's no longer available at the retailer where I bought it because it's an older model. The new models don't have the angled water bottle holder which was one of my favorite features, what was Gregory thinking?
I recommend this pack for use as a day pack or for a weekend backpack trip. I checked extended travel but as a daypack not for a major backpacking expedition; it's not big enough for that. Get this pack ladies!
Very comfortable but poor quality By D Duck from Norway on 08/04/2008 Pros: Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, I loved this pack the first times I used it because it`s very lightweight and very comfortable. But, after about 20-30 days in the mountain both of the shoulder straps have started to come off - and it`s useless. I have not been carrying any extreme loads. If Gregory have improved quality this is a very good pack. If not, I wouldn`t touch it. Other than that it should be mentioned that the fabric is very thin, so beware of touching rocks. I also find the clips a bit awkward to handle with cold/numb hands, so it`s not perfect for use in winter.
By Beginner Missionary from Virginia on 07/25/2008 Pros: Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding Best Uses: Airline Travel, Short Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Remember that this is a DayPack. It is small; but PERFECT for shorter females like myself. And The COMFORT! Wow! I absolutely love it! There are some side panel zipped compartments on the waiste belt that are very cool and handy. Very pleased.

By kelshine from Charlotte, NC on 07/21/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Best Uses: Airline Travel, Backpacking, Camping, Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It's a great pack with an excellent suspension system. It is very comfortable to use, but it is a smaller pack. It is good for a 2-3 night lightly packed trip... it works out great since the boy usually carries all of the real gear :)
