Gregory Jade 28L Backpack

Perfect for day hikes or skiing, not too big and not too small, it’s just right!

This is the perfect pack for a long day hike with varying weather conditions. Plenty of room for layers of clothing, lunch, and the safety essentials. The fit and comfort are exceptional and length adjustment is easy. I like the easy, wide access to the main compartment and the belt compartments that are perfect for a phone, granola bar, lip balm. All features are well- designed and thoughtful. I expect to enjoy the pack for many years to come.

So far the product is performing up to expectations

It was recommended by a friend who backpacks all the time, as his wife had one. I should have gotten the middle size. But it held al I needed for Isle Royale!

This is a great day pack, with room for everything you need on a long trek. There is a reservoir pocket, two external side pockets, a security pocket, rain cover and a place to store hiking poles. The thing I really love is the ability to customize the fit. I have a long torso and I am avle to adjust the back to accommodate that. I also like the compression straps that help hold the weight in place and stop it from shifting as you move. The hip belt is great, with roomy pockets for cell phone, snacks, lip balm, sunblock, and a hankie. Excellent design. I also have the Jade 38 and I have to say it was the most comfortable pack I own. Now, I have the Jade 28 and it is definitely competing for first place in comfort. If you are shaped like a woman, check out Gregory Packs for women. They are the most comfortable packs designed for women. The quality is excellent and the pack is very lightweight considering all the features.

Fantastic day or light overnight pack! I'm a male, 5'9" 140lbs and the M/L pack fits great. The water bottle pockets work well and all zippers are great. Overall very happy with the design, size and fit. Also, when moving fast or running the pack moves with your body excellently.

I LOVE the Jade 28! I used it for a trip to Iceland where I just needed a day pack. The 28L is a perfect size! I originally ordered the latest version of the bag and didn’t like it as much due to the fact that the front pouch was not as stretchy and no sunglass hook on the newer model. I returned it and got the one I wanted. ( I think the model is a few years old ?) I have a long torso so I love the ability to adjust the shoulder straps. The only thing I wish I would have noticed was that it does not have any ability to hang a sleeping bag off the bottom( no place to attach straps). I altered it and added my own. The waist is really comfortable and the waist pockets are large enough to hold a large iphone or satellite phone. Overall awesome bag!

Used the pack for some day hikes in the mountains and it’s perfect. Could have gone with a smaller pack but decided on this one because I know how comfortable Gregory packs are on me. I own the 65L for back country as well. Comfortable, spacious, multiple compartment, holds water bladder with loop to hold hose down so it doesn’t bop your face lol. It’s a great day hike or possible one night hike pack.
