Gregory Rhune 22 L Backpack

literally the perfect backpack in terms of build quality, features.

Great bag and roomy for daily commute or day hike. Fits the essentials and is comfortable to wear.

Very Good. Get the black version for everyday carry. One laptop sleeve which fits 15" macbook comfortably. One tablet sleeve that fits iPad pro comfortably. Main compartment is large for at least 2 thick textbooks. Secondary compartment is large enough to stack maybe 4 iPads. Top small compartment is good for keeping quick access items such as airpods. Side zippable compartment is great for storing car keys and other stuff that need to be stored a bit more discreetly. One bottom holding mesh is good for carrying tumblers.

Two weeks and im very happy- replaced a 32L ‘technical” bag with a compact commuter. Good: light, zippers, well thought out pockets, light colored interior = easier to find stuff. Places for improvement: Im 5’8” , 175 lbs and the shoulder straps could be a bit wider at the neck and longer for comfort. They do the job but the bigger packs give a bit more coverage. Big enough for 16 inch laptop, tablet, chargers, shoes and a puffer jacket which is plenty for daily needs.

I like this daypack very much, except for the fact that the bottom shape is such that the back will not stand up.

As someone with back and shoulder pain, I vas very apprehensive about a new backpack. Let me tell you- it holds up. I’ve packed it heavy and the weight always distributes and dissipates magically as soon as it’s on my back. The organizational pockets are thought out without being overwhelming, and I like that the largest pocket unzips almost to a clamshell level. The small shoulder zippered pocket was my non-negotiable for headphones. The secret side pocket has been key for traveling and needing frequent access to my wallet and passport. But my absolute favorite thing about this pack is how slim it is. I can pack it full, but it will always fit under a seat or squeeze into a tight subway. I use it for commuting, 1-2 day trips, and a personal item for longer travels. Would highly recommend.

As a backpack nerd, I can definitively say this pack is ALMOST perfect. The pocketing layout is fantastic - the way the laptop can be accessed even while the pack is full is great. It’s the first time I haven’t wished a pack had a dedicated laptop sleeve. I also love the amount of quick access pockets the Rhune 22 has without exposing them easily to pickpockets. It’s also wonderfully lightweight while still feeling high quality. There’s one major issue though, and it’s a dealbreaker for me. I believe this model was designed by Gregory Japan, and due to this, the straps & backpanel were clearly built for smaller people and women. The straps are super close together and will cause pain on your shoulders and neck if you are taller than 5’6.” (I’m 5’10” and not at all overweight and this thing looks downright silly on my back due to the strap placement). In addition, the mesh backpanel material feels abrasive compared to that of previous Gregory packs I’d had (like the fantastic 32L Diode). Unfortunately, the backpanel/strap issues are a dealbreaker for me. If someone at Gregory is reading this, please cut about 5cm off the height of this pack (to better fit as a personal item on international airlines), add a bigger harness to fit western people, and use a less abrasive mesh on the backpanel. If you do that I’ll buy 3 of them and loudly support this pack on Reddit!

Perfect office backpack. Great organization, good size to hold all I need, but not too bulky. Professional look. Love the AirPod pocket on the left strap.
