I just love Gregory packs, I have the 25, 28, 34, 38 and the 50 Jade packs! Yuphave to sell a couple, whah! ha ha ha. Anyway the 34 is the perfect size for a long day hike or a simple overnight jaunt. I use mine as a emergency pack in my car! It handles up to 35 lbs and is still comfortable to wear. It has a lot of pockets to choose from to creatively store your gear in the best places for you to get them quickly. The built-in standard rain covers are a nice quality touch! The Jade cross flow suspension is my favorite and goes up to the 38 before it changes the suspension on the bigger packs. The air flow on hot summer days of 90+ is wonderful. The shoulder straps are very comfortable considering they don't look thick. I have a neck & shoulder injury and these packs are so comfortable for me to wear, that's why I have so many! ha ha ha. I purchased a clover green before they disappeared! It's a rich color, very nice. Gregory offers some very nice colors, the tuolumne green, Nordic blue and the red/grey combo are the richest so far. The bluebird is ok but not a favorite. Depends on your taste. I can't recommend a better pack for the price, especially when you get them on sale!! Worth every penny.The newer packs put the side compression straps over the side water bottle pockets, this is the only "upgrade" I do not like, as I like to be able to compress my pack, not my water bottle as I like to drink from it!! Other than that can't complain.Bottom line: Great packs, cool colors and Comfortable with a capitol C!! Worth the price of admission...
