Hey friends! I realized there's an error in the video labeling the Deuter pack. The Deuter is the Speed Lite 22, not the "Speedlight." Whoops! Do you have favorite daypack? Any must-have daypack features you can't live without? And is the Gregory pack BLUE or GREEN?! Comment below! – Miranda
I am a simple woman. I see Miranda, I click Like.
(Also legit thanks for this video; I am navigating these exact waters right now, trying to choose my first day pack, so this is very helpful content.❤)
Green
Who is Gashdarn? When she says at the start Its my Show Gashdarn
Thanks so much for the great information. Great job! Lots to consider.
Don't feel bad, to me orange and pink look the same….
Pack is green.
I have the Osprey Hikelite 26. I love everything about this pack except for the side bottle pockets. They are terrible and whatever you put in always falls out. My wife's daylite pack which is cheaper has way better pockets.
I got a Gregory 55l pack today I looked at it only because of your recommendation an it was the far nicer pack an it weighs less. Thanks.
My torso size is 18, which size of backpack will be fit with my body?
Green!
What about the osprey tempest 24? Thinking about getting one! I sent the skimmer 28 back bc I couldn't reach the side pockets does that mean it's too small?
Awesome video except for the mispronunciation of Osprey (aa-spree) 👍
super helpful, thanks! thinking about upgrading from my north face recon which i've had for 10 years!!!
That's the greenest green I've ever seen. Also looks like a great choice. Happy hiking!
it's GREEN!!! hahaha
I loved this video!!!
I love packs. It's a problem. 🙄
For the Gregory pack, is the raincover attached to the pack, or is it removable?
Hello. I don't know if I'll get an answer … but has anyone tried the Gregory Jade yet? Yes, it looks perfect (all those features) … but why the rough mesh on the shoulder straps? I do not understand. It's irritating on the neck. Am I the only one who had this problem?
(Oh, but note I love the color … the version I received is really a beautiful dark turquoise blue – for the Mayan Teal color choice I picked!)
As the green/blue argument was happening, I literally said, "It looks teal to me," seconds before the color was revealed to be teal.
I was JUST looking up how to pick a daypack! Can't believe you have a video on it! Yay!!
I doubt Gregory doesn't know you, their designers would have to be living under a rock or not doing their homework. By the way, don't want to rub it in, but the pack is definitively a shade of green 😉
What about packs for plus sized hikers?
What bladder do you use with the Jade?
I just bought the Jade 28, love it but the bladder is useless, cannot get water out of it and my Source bladder (love it) can’t use the proprietary Gregory hook. 😢
Gregory fits me best, I’ve got a Zulu 40 plus Miwok 18, and an Osprey StrAtos 26 but it starts hurting after about five-miles.
I have the biggest crush on Miranda
Would love to see a update review with a little hindsight knowledge.
It's green.
Why do you want a hip belt?
I love my Osprey Tempest 20 for day hikes, could do with a couple more pockets and larger hip pockets to hold a phone but it's really lightweight
I’m amazed. I have had the same North Face day pack for 27 years. I watched this because I love your informed, yet serendipitous process. And I’m thinking as an old, retired advertising person , how remarkable it is for me , who would never walk into a store to hear a 20 minute schpeil on a product I don’t need- and in fact, I have been in a loving relationship with my North Face for over a quarter of a Century. Now I can only think of Jade 28. I hope you’re happy, Day Pack home wrecker.
It’s green
What kind of firearm do you carry?
Green pack
It's a green pack.
please make an episode about colors!
I work in the optical industry. I've never heard the term "ear horns" before. They're temples and the middle of the sunglass frame where the elastic loop goes is the bridge. Good review though.
Green!
Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault.
The Gregory pack is green
Temple. The ear horn is called a temple. But this was a welcome post. I have a Deuter Speed Lite 20 which has been rock solid, but I too would like a bit more structure. Thanks for getting me started.
And here I am trying to upgrade to something smaller…
Trampoline backs changed my life! lol.
That gregory pack is green lol… there are shades of teal, and that one is more jade green lol
Gregory pack and rain cover are green
Green
Green 😂
Love my fjallraven Abisko friluft backpack 😍 it serves me well on the track
Engagement engagement engagement
Would love to see what you bring along in this pack for a day hike, and what length of hike led you to want the upgrade
