Product Description

Slightly larger than a daypack, the versatile J38 is ready for all types of adventures. It has enough capacity for warm-weather overnights when requirements are at a minimum and easily handles winter hikes with alpine gear and bulkier insulating layers. This is the daypack for those who want some extra space, just in case.

Customers like the size of the backpack. They mention that it has lots of pockets and room for a two-day trip. They appreciate the top and panel loading, 2 separate pockets besides the main compartment, and great mesh frame ventilation. Overall, customers are satisfied with the size and value of the product.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like this backpack a lot

I like this backpack a lot.
Pros:Top and panel loading, 2 separate pockets besides main compartment, great mesh frame ventilation, large side pockets for water bottles or etc. Rainfly and straps for tent or sleeping mat.
Cons: no zipper so poor security for main compartment of you're using bag for traveling--it's not lockable. Kind of small and hard to use the 38L efficiently because of configuration of back panel and placement of hydration slot.

The capacity varies by size. I ordered xs and returned because I really wanted a 38L pack, not a 36L. The m/L hold more than 38L.

3.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to like this pack

I really wanted to like this pack. Choosing between this one and Osprey Sirrus, I preferred Gregory for the design of compartments and straps. But it just would not fit me properly. Tried different sizes, adjusted all I could multiple times, but it just didn't feel like one piece with my bag, while Osprey just "clicked in" right away. I'm 5' 10" 150 lbs female, with short torso and lordosis (curved lower back). Otherwise - a great pack.

Great pack! Really high quality product... I love the red color, much more than the moonrise purple version
A note on fit: The hipbelts on this "women's" pack buckle up so that they are slightly wider at the base for curvy hips--since my hips don't really go out like that (i'm fairly rectangular) they may not be as even as they could be for load distribution. It is comfortable to wear and I dont think it will be a big issue as the hipbelts still grip my iliac crest fairly well.
Also, my waist is about about 31 inches where the hipbelts buckle together and when tightened there's only about 2-3 inches of slack left for tightening so if I got any skinnier on a trail the belt may be too loose.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a beauty

I really liked this pack when I saw it on here and got it -- great price. As it happened, the size small was too small for me, so I returned it (I'm 5'2", and bounce between a small and medium backpack size depending on the brand). The pack was as little smaller on the inside than I expected. There didn't seem to be as much room as other packs of the same liter size because of the firmly sloped out back frame. It made the pack much narrower than I anticipated. I decided to try out a bigger pack instead.
It is a beauty though! Sleek, with well-placed zippers. A beautiful red. Tucks in nicely. Great features ... Hmmm... Maybe I will order a size medium.

This pack is awesome! Excellent storage space for long day/light overnight hiking. Have used it on several high peaks climbs in New York and Vermont and it rides very well on me at 5' 7" tall. I love this pack!

色が、赤系パープルに部分的に青系パープルが入っているデザインで、思っていたよりとってもよかった！
最新の2016モデルのジェイド33のSと比べると、容量が違うからか、同じSでもハーネスとウエストベルトのフィッティングがちょっと違う感じ…
このザックは、荷物多目でぷっくりとするのがベストバランスだと思います。コンプレッションベルトはありますが、サイドをしっかり締め上げていくデザインじゃないので、あまりにスカスカだと中が落ちます。ザックの下部は厚みががすぼまっているので、自立はしません。
日帰りの7時間などのハイキングでザックデビューさせようと思っています。
