Gregory Juno 24L vs Osprey Nebula

There is nothing wrong stopping when we feel we need some water. Stopping is, and has always been, a way to relax on the trail. I do not understand the obsession with non-stop walking and a need for taking sips from a tube. I get it, some people do like this technology, but this pack should have offered the option for carrying decent water bottle for those who dislike being intubated!

There should be a 3/4 pack zipper mid pack so the pack can be layed out almost in half, each half with a 4" depth minimum. The front pocket should be a 3/4 zip and inside are organizer pockets. The hip belt is cheesy and should be enhanced for backpacking/hiking use. The water bottle holders should be stowable and not obstruct the ability for the center zip (width spec) to be fully opened so the two mid sections can be packed easily

not a big deal. Plus, you want a snug fit with your gear as the load carries closer to your back, therefore more efficient at carrying the load..

The Nebula is a good-sized pack. At 34L, I find it a good size for travel, particularly because of the TSA-approved laptop compartment. All of the dimensions of the 2019 version are the same as the previous version, but somehow weighs .3 pounds more

For an extra $20, there is also a Juno 24 H2O version that comes bundled with a 3L hydration system.Specs at a GlanceVolume: 24LWeight: 1 lb 15 ozGender: Women’sType: Internal frameVentilation: YesExternal pockets: 5 + mainTorso sizing: one size: 14”-19”Waist sizing: 27”-45”Max recommended load: 20 lbsPack body: 210D Honeycomb CryptoRip Nylon / 420D High Density NylonPack bottom: 420D High Density NylonBackpack Storage and OrganizationThe Juno 24 has a U-shaped top zipper that provides easy access to the pack’s main compartmentThe Juno 24 is a panel-style daypack with a U-shaped top zipper that provides easy access to the contents of the main compartment. It easily holds all of the gear I need for a day hike including my first aid & emergency gear, plus a couple of clothing layers and rain gear. The main compartment has a hydration sleeve with a large port at the top for the hose that allows you to run the hose to the left or right

This pack has great organizational compartments! Exactly what I am looking for with commuting to school and hiking, 34L of capacity! Plenty of room in the main compartment for all my books for college and the secondary compartment is very deep with many organization compartments for quick and safe storage. The laptop compartment is padded very well and can fit my 15" laptop, looks to hold up to a 17" potentially. If you have a lot of items to pack and need to organize them.

I bought this backpack after researching several others and chose it for the reviews on a comfortable fit and the higher amount of pockets for storage that it has. I wasn't disappointed. I have already hiked 25 miles with it in just two weeks and I love the fit. I don't even realize I am wearing it most of the time, it is that comfortable

The fit and comfort is just right from the shoulder straps to the back vents. It looks sharp too. My only complaint, and its proving to be minor, is that the compresion straps in the back block full use of one of the zippers. Otherwise, I am completely satisfied thus far

Only thing I do not like is the hip belt zipper. I can not close it completely with one hand and it seems like simply making the zipper straight instead of rounded would fix it. The round zipper seams like it is more for aesthetics than function.

I have had this bag for about a year and a half and it still looks brand new. Well built and well thought out bag. The zippers open up nice a big giving lots of access. The double zippers allow access without having the entire opening unzipped

Note: even though my Samsung S9+ with a thin case would fit inside the side pocket when the pocket is lying flat, they wouldn't fit when worn on the body due to the curved nature of the waist line. Con: this is a major one for me. The shoulder straps are uncomfortable: the end of the padded straps and the buckles form a hard bulge that rub against my inner upper arms and side breast area, right below the armpits. I have never experienced this with other Gregory day packs before

The only cons I have with the bag are the size, which I feel could be a little bit bigger, and the top buckle straps. These straps which run from the top of the front of the bag to snaps on the top back of the bag are useful for cinching it down and keeping everything tight, but the issue is that they block zipper access for the main pockets, and as a result they just become a hindrance to opening and closing the bag. Therefore I just keep them unbuttoned, and I store them in the mesh pocket on the back, but it would be useful if there was a better system to maintain the bag's tightness without impacting its function in this manner. Otherwise the bag is a great EDC

I have tried many packs over the years and none of them fit as good as this. I’m a short 5’2” little old lady with a short waist. I’m not petite though so it’s really hard to find something that fits right. Gregory Juno 24 got it right

I purchased this backpack prior to a 10-day trip to Italy with my family. Since we had multiple layovers, including some international layovers, and planned to take trains between several cities, I wanted to use my smaller carry-on suitcase to make it easier to store on airplanes and trains and roll between train stations and hotels. With a 10-day trip, I really wanted a backpack that I could use to supplement my limited packing capabilities in addition to safely transporting my work laptop, ipad, and various personal items like cords, chargers, etc. So my criteria was- laptop sleeve, comfortable straps, water resistant or waterproof, different compartments/pockets for a variety of items, big enough to fit some packing cubes, yet small enough that I wouldn't feel weighed down when on the move, and stylish (my last laptop backpack was a little boring - all black, kind of standard work-issued feel)
