Gregory Jade 43 Women's Backpack

The Gregory Jade 43 is an excellent backpack for multi-day hikes. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and the fit is customizable, making long treks feel easier. The ventilation system keeps you cool, and there’s plenty of space for gear without being bulky. A perfect balance of comfort and functionality for backpackers.

I bought this for my upcoming trip on the Camino de Santiago. I had tried using a 32 L pack but just found it too tightly stressed with absolutely no extra space. I looked for packs in the 36-45 L range and was almost going to get an Osprey Kyte 36 but spied the Gregory Jade 43 on a rack by itself. I love the fact that there is a clamshell opening on the front in addition to the traditional bucket. I also love the top section that has two separated storage compartments. Would have loved to have a rain cover as part of the original purchase which is standard in Osprey packs. I've been training with it and like the feel of the pack. So far, the only annoying aspect is the sound of the moveable strap section which has a funny sound as the pack moves with your movement. Guess it will just become routine but I wish that fabric would be replaced with something less tactile and noisy.

I was fitted with this pack for an upcoming backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon. I love it! It distributes the weight to eliminate any strain in my problematic neck.

Love it! I can hike for hours with weight and not feel it in my lower back or shoulders.

I bought this last year for an overnight hike. It was comfortable throughout the climb and held everything I needed for the overnight. I’ve since taken it on overnight flights as a carryon. I can’t wait to use it on my next overnight hike in the spring.

I bought this back a month ago and love the comfort. I tried on several brands

Travelled through Europe with this backpack, it withstood multiple flights, and was very comfortable while wearing. The rain cover worked perfectly. Lots of room and extra pockets. Great backpack! Fits perfect for women around your waist as well!

I bought my pack for a trip to Italy, on the return trip the sternum strap broke. I went to the store (2 hrs away) where I purchased my pack for a replacement, they did not have one and suggested I do a warranty claim. I have tried emailing and calling and have had no response. I am getting ready for my next trip and would appreciate being able to have a sternum strap. I am fine paying for one instead of warranty but they aren't available online or in the DIY section.
