Gregory Jade 38 Pack - Women's vs Osprey Daylite Plus Pack

I love the size, it fits everything I need for an extended day hike including layers of clothing and rain gear.

I Like these external Cardinal areas I Like to be able to grab things as I'm hiking. you can see it's not very wide. It says why does the day pack and...

The the top section of this is a much larger space than on my Osprey And so usually what I put up here are things like my wallet, my keys, and the ele...

The comfiest backpack I've ever had. If I'm doing a serious dayhike, this is the bag I'm taking.

Sternum strap some load lifters, as well as a nice adjustable hip belt. This is a comfortable light wrap with enough padding to be comfortable with up...

-I find the cross straps also annoying, they feel in the way when you're trying to pack things and hurry quickly and I largely use them to secure the water bottle since it falls out due to the instability of this pack but its very annoying to need to clip each time when you're just trying to access the main compartment for your jacket when the stash pocket on front doesn't fit a jacket in the first place

I’m an avid backpacker and hiker, and recently had a baby. I quickly realized in taking the little monkey out that a lot of stuff was now required to hike with him. While my significant other carries the little one, I needed a pack that could act like both a hiking backpack and a diaper bag, which means it needs to be pretty big but not multi-night trip big. I’m typically a fan of Osprey, but this Gregory does not disappoint - it’s got all the features of an excellent lightweight overnight pack but in a smaller package

* Osprey Daylite *PLUS* 20L. * My personal favourite so far, but fitting it in my main bag + all the other gear is my concern.

Great pack. It’s comfortable, roomy, and I love the sunglasses holder in the strap. I do wish there were more pockets on the inside for organization but I remedy that by using small pouches to keep the small things together. I have a long torso and the hips belts fit right where they should

I'll go over them here and the bag costs 70 U.s or for me 95 Canadian. And now let's go over the bags. So right on the front here, you can pull open t...

This is super helpful when you need to grab a piece of gear quickly and it makes packing and unpacking simpler. The double zipper pulls. Let you posit...

Pros: Very well ventilated shoulder straps and backing. Sleek design with nice cinch straps. Nice size main compartment and mid pocket. Zippers don't snag and seem of very good quality with pull attachments on each zipper(very nice not chintzy)

Right under the top of bag under the Gregory logo is another zipper to get inside the large compartment from the front of the bag like a suitcase nice feature if you have something in the bottom of the bag you want out first. The zippered compartment in the front of the bag works great for stashing a rain jacket or insulating jacket or whatever you need quickly. Just under the front compartment is a small zippered area with rain drops, it's your free rain cover!! Which is also red and it's not attached to the pack, it's completely separate, what a GREAT item to include! There are two mesh pocket on either side, and like other review stated the compression straps are in the way to use them without sacrificing use of water bottles or not being able to compress pack down. There are no access holes to feed strap behind item in pockets, I just leave them loose, not really a deal breaker for me

So first off, you've got, of course it's going to be on the other side. You've got a little front pocket on the front. Traditional, you know, hip stra...
