The Gregory Jade 28 pack for women offers great comfort and performance while keeping your back cool and your load light on scrambles and long day hikes.

5out of 5

Pros: Good padding, Easy To Load, Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Large capacity, Lightweight

Best Uses: Day trip, Hiking

Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer

What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven

Was this a gift?: No

I've been a fan of the Gregory packs for two+ years now- this is my second pack. These are the best woman's packs I've found (I've tried many), and best of all they work great on my plus-frame frame. The straps fit all the way around, and are super adjustable. Best of all? The straps STAY where you adjust them to- no slipping. This certainly isn't an overnight pack, but I have plenty of gear, including an oversize first aid kit for the whole family, and plenty of room still for lunch or snacks.

So... what's my purpose here with this nifty little blog?

Simply to memorialize my adventures with the PNW Leisure Hiking Meetup Group. :) It's been nearly a year now since we started hiking, and I'm in better shape than I've been in years (although I still have a looooong way to go)!

We've shared memories and stories and adventures, and I don't want to forget a single moment of them! So this will be my "digital scrapbook" so to say.

So enjoy! And consider trying out some of these hikes on your own, or join us for a hike one day. We're a great group! Of course I suppose I am a little biased! ;)
