Comfortable and Good for its Size
A moment of Form over Function: Love the color!
This fits well on me. I am 5’5” and have an 18.5” torso. The padding is good and I feel no discomfort on my bony shoulders or stegosaurus spine. There seems to be good air circulation on the back. (Full disclosure: I did not take this out on the trails as I am not sure as yet if I am keeping it.)
I’m going to start with the annoying things first because, well, queri ego ergo sum.
The first annoying thing is that Gregory uses the identical group of close up feature photos to show the Juno 24 and the 30 and the 36, so you really have no idea which pack they are showing and therefore no idea of scale. In the photo on Gregory’s website with all three models next to each other, the 24 and 30 appear to be identical except for size; the 36 has something different about the front but it is never explained.
Another annoying thing: There is no way to attach trekking poles unless you take off your pack or have a fellow hiker help. Work around: I have discovered that while wearing the pack you can stow the pole tips through the loop as Gregory intended BUT instead of using the elastic lash on the back of the pack (which you can’t do while wearing the pack), pull out the sunglass elastic from the shoulder strap and lash the pole handles (easy to do while wearing the pack). My glasses and sunglasses are $$$ prescription so I would probably never leave them exposed on this elastic anyway.
