Gregory Jade 38 Pack - Women's vs The North Face Borealis Pack

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

I love using my borealis backpack for both work and my weekend hikes. The section for my laptop is great and it's also comforting knowing that it's protected with the padding inside. The straps are great and comfortable when I take it out for a hike and carries just about all you'll need for a good long hike trip. Would definitely recommend it for its range of features

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...

It's okay. if you look here on the sternum strap, take a look. There's a little whistle so I'm gonna just blow it. Okay right there

That's as comfortable as this back here now that was going to come in at a little bit of a higher price point. But if you're looking for something tha...

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

I had it on a two week or a weekend trip with me. Been testing it for two weeks now. Um, water bottle pockets on the side, little pull tab here, reall...
