GregoryWomen's Juno 24 Backpack

This is a beautiful pack—well designed with just the right amount of smaller pockets, and a lovely emerald green color. The harness system is very comfortable and the belt pockets are perfect for a phone (my iPhone 12 mini slipped in easily). The shoulder straps are comfortably narrow and ergonomic for the female frame, and there are also straps on the shoulders which help to adjust the pack for your torso height. I’m 5’4” and tightened the straps pretty much all the way to get the right fit.It ended up being a bit too large for a daypack, so I have returned it for now. Apparently the 30L has the same dimensions, so I’ll probably purchase that one instead once I have need of a larger pack.

Lots of thoughtful features throughout and excellent quality.

Take a look at that photo and imagine a completely unpadded metal bar riding directly on your bum the entire hike. I've been using Gregory packs since they were external frames. There is no excuse for a company of this experience to make a frame this pathetically uncomfortable. It is 100% completely unadjustable in regards to the back length and waist belt. Unless you are a contortionist or perhaps majestically double jointed, I'm not quite sure how anyone is supposed to get things in and out of the belt pockets without taking the pack off. The new single slit for the bladder hose's exit from the pack causes it to ride against the back of your neck regardless which side you choose. Are y'all leaving off testing your gear anymore before you put it out? Stop mass producing JUNK out of corporate greed.

Love Gregory backpacks! Would be nice to have more pockets. There’s no such thinning as too many pockets.Check it out in action on Facebook or YouTube - STEEL Rangers #pliking
