Gregory Juno 24L vs REI Co-op Traverse 35 Pack Men's

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!

It's pretty durable and it's also a modular so you can remove the lid and you can also adjust where the compression straps are in your pack, which is ...

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..

I would say this pack is a lot larger than needed for a day hike, except in winter, but it's not designed to carry skis.

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

It’s sturdy, comfortable, feels and looks like high quality, plenty of compartments. Yeah, the waist belt pockets are on the small side but I can still fit my iPhone and a snack. Used the rain cover and it was easy to grab and did the job. I have no hesitation recommending this one

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

There's like a thin layer of just like net so that I can see that the air is just going to kind of go through and hopefully relieve any of the sweat t...

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 cinch up straps work great and its easy to secure the load from several angles.

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

Anyway, this is it a little bit. What? I want to share with details of this backpack? and yeah,
