Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L vs Gregory Maven 45 Pack - Women's

That's really great for getting the pack into side access mode while you're wearing it, as well as hiding the strap system, which we'll get into in a ...

Plus the hip belt and shoulder straps are very comfortable, and the straps and buckles are not flimsy just to save a few ounces. The Maven 45 really has it all - a comfortable well-made women's backpack with the latest, greatest new features.. #maven45 #sweepstakes

It's going to stand up to a lot. If you're throwing it in and out of taxis you're taking to airports buses, then it's It's going to stand up to the pu...

Just did a couple miles to test this out. Lightweight, very comfortable with all the features you need and no extras.

There is however, an elephant in the room that should be a deal breaker for every sane traveler - this bag is unforgivably uncomfortable to carry; and as that is the core function of a travel bag, I struggle to understand why so many people just gloss over it. It’s brilliant, amazing, oh and it’s a brick that carry’s like someone loaded 70kg into a Kanken and made you carry it. No amount of awesome design and fabulous ergonomics can cover it up - it’s big, heavy and completely over priced.

but if they're a little longer I could fit better gear because even though I'm an extra small size in a backpack, my gear is still normal size. I trie...

- The lash straps are super handy. I used them to lash an extra coat to the outside of the pack.

Fit - shoulders and hip; 2. Hip belt pocket large enough to hold my cell phone, a Samsung Note 9; 3. Ventilation So, how did the Gregory Maven 45 fare against my top 3? For fit, I could adjust the shoulder straps and hip belt with markings to help me fine tune the fit, heavy duty closed loop fasteners to hold it in place. After a couple of false starts, I used my existing pack as a guide to adjust the shoulder straps for the perfect fit

I've also tried the Peak Design Travel backpack - no good, way too big to be a hiking / day pack and not robust enought to check in for me. Also tried packing a standard hiking pack in my main bag, but this takes up a lot of room, as well as offering no Photography based integrated features. If you guys have any thoughts on the above bags, or any suggestions at all that would be greatly appreciated. I'm driving myself around the bend trying to find this perfect bag that I'm afraid doesn't exist

With the mavens, I have a 16 and 1/2 inch, torso and size small medium fits me best. These packs have everything fast, paced, hikers need and they're ...

Use the front access to get into what we call the organization panel in here. You've got a handful of separately zippered pockets and these pockets ba...

I have not hiked with this pack yet, but so far it's exactly what I need. I love the new side zipper! It will be fantastic to access my gear without creating a jumble of everything in the pack!

So honestly, I think this is one major design flaw in the peak design 45 liter although I think it is also outweighed by the streamlined design and al...

I can actually put my hands completely behind that back panel, so that means you've got plenty of ventilation to keep you cool on the trail, the phone...
