I ’ ve taken my Gregory Women ’s Jade 24 LT Backpack on two training hikes so far as I prepare for my upcoming trip to Havasu Falls, and it ’s been exactly what I needed. The organization is one of the biggest highlights. The front pocket is perfect for storing food and snacks so I don ’ t have to dig through the main compartment during breaks. Inside the main compartment, I can comfortably fit clothes, toiletries, and a water bladder without everything feeling cramped. I also love the hip belt pockets — they ’ re ideal for quick - access essentials like lip balm, sunscreen, etc… while hiking. The only con is that my phone doesn ’ t fit. I chose the bright yellow color, and I ’ m glad I did because it ’s highly visible and easy to spot. Overall, this pack feels practical, well - designed, and great for day hikes and trip preparation. I ’ m excited to keep using it on my Havasu Falls adventure.

My old daypack( unknown brand - cheap) had to retire after 5 years of heavy use. I hope this osprey holds up longer, I was told it was the best brand. It ’s big enough for my family of four to pack overnight clothes and next day outfits for an evening away. Have yet to take it on a day hike. Super excited about this pack. Waited until it was on sale and had a$ 10 gift card

[ I had an older day pack and am preparing for a long( 25 - mile) hike. While on one of my first training hikes I discovered my old pack was making my back so wet and it was uncomfortable on my shoulders. I bought this pack on a recommendation from a friend and have not regretted it. It is super comfortable, very adjustable, and it keeps my back dry. I love this pack!
