This is a very comfortable backpack. It fits my back very well and is one of my favorite backpacks.

Gregory is more than 1 kg lighter than Deuter which made for quite a difference. When you have the two packs next to each other, you can see right away where it comes from. Deuter is made of thick, durable fabric that will serve me for ages. Gregory’s walls are made of a much thinner and delicate-looking material.
I am not easy on my packs – I throw them on the ground, I sit on them, lean on, and so on. I don’t fuss too much, and I need them to survive such treatment.
The first test for the backpack was one weeks – I was able to pack three weeks worth of clothes, gear, and food into it! It got me through some 300 km and some crazy weather.

Way more options and lash points than a person could hope for. Soooo super sharp as a color tone for someone, a woman, who enjoys hot pink (which this is NOT... but of a tone that works quite well!) This pack is a perfect size for the 5'1" user. The right amount of room for real gear. And adjustable to a perfect degree. It is very light in weight but inspection reveals some well built strengths to it. The only real flaw I will lodge against it is the completely off tone of the blue rain cover that is provided with it. What the heck?! Oh, well... but not critical of course because it is a legit backpacker's pack.
Pros:
- Well built. Light in weight. A sharp colored alternative to the other fare out there.
Cons:
- Gregory ought not to be shy to OWN the color scheme to the very end. 'Can' the gray straps and blue accents.
Would recommend: Yes

I was thrilled to find a pack that had (I thought) the combination of size and features I wanted for winter hikes/snowshoes or quick summer overnights. The Maven 45 seemed to fit the bill, but the specs are not correct as multiple features are not available in the smaller 2 sizes. Specifically:
-the hydration sleeve is not removable (no Sidekick dapack)
-the hipbelt pocket position is not adjustable
-no silicon gription on the lumbar pad
-no quick bottle access from the side pockets
-no interior divider separating the sleeping bag compartment (though it does have an access panel at the bottom)
Gregory really dropped the ball here, IMO. It's still a nice pack, but not nearly in the same league as the larger sizes. Haven't decided yet if I'll live with it, or return and size up.
Best Used for:
- short trips
- winter hiking
Would recommend: Yes
