If you are in the market for a women’s specific backpack, then you may want to take a look at the Gregory J53!
I purchased this pack a few weeks ago in Twilight Blue and recently took it on my 2-day backpacking trip in Virginia. The pack is specifically designed for a woman’s frame and can be purchased in small, medium and large frame sizes.
My favorite part about the pack is the CrossFlo Suspension system. This allows the frame of the pack to sit off of your back while allowing air to flow freely between you and the pack. This is a great addition, especially during the summer months!
Another great feature about this pack is that a size small weighs only 3 lbs! This pack is designed to save on weight without sacrificing comfort and functionality.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Under $160
- Adequate storage
- Floating and removable lid
- U-Shaped front zipper access
- 2 front hipbelt pockets
- Ventilation between frame and back
- Moves with you allowing for good range of motion
Con:
- Only one thing – water bottle pockets are hard to reach
I really enjoyed using this pack and I am excited to continue using it on other backpacking trips. This pack has a weight limit of just under 40 lbs, which makes this a great pack for 1 to 2 night trips or longer trips if your focus is on cutting weight and volume.
