Why We Like The Gregory Jade 28L Backpack
The Gregory Jade 28 Backpack is an adjustable daypack for hikers that's specially made to fit women's bodies. We like the Jade's adjustability with its women-specific 3D comfort cradle hipbelt that hugs our hips just right, an adjustable back panel that fits different torso lengths, and women-shaped shoulder straps for upper body comfort. It's also comfortable with the open-air back panel to aerate our backs and a free float suspension system that flexes and pivots with our body movements to prevent rubs, hot spots, and blisters. The 26-liter capacity is perfect for carrying lunch and layers on long day hikes with six external pockets and one internal security pocket to help us keep track of our water bottles, maps, electronics, lip balm, and snacks. The Jade is hydration-compatible and even includes a fitted rain cover that's packed away in a zippered pocket to keep our gear dry in a surprise shower.

XS is perfect for a petite woman
XS is perfect for a petite woman. Tried other cheaper packs but the straps were so wide they irritated my neck.

Comfortable pack with great features.
I bought this for my wife. She has had other daypacks. This one is her favorite by far.

What differences are there from the older model to this one?
May 3, 2023
It looks like the new version of the Jade 28 no longer has a rain cover. This was such a useful feature, why was it removed?
