Light packback is so good - Gregory Maven 45 Backpack - Women's

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.
