Gregory Jade 43L Backpack - Women's Moab Orange, S/M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The FreeFloat hipbelt on the Jade 43L is a game changer for longer days on trail — it moves with your hips instead of fighting them, so the miles add up without the usual lower-back fatigue. I also love the front panel U-zip access, which makes digging through your pack at camp way less of a production than a traditional top-loader.""Miles from the trailhead, when the weight of a full overnight kit starts to make itself known, a pack that truly fits becomes everything. The Gregory Jade 43L is built for exactly that moment — the point where the terrain gets interesting and you need your gear to disappear into your stride rather than fight against it. Gregory's FreeFloat hipbelt flexes naturally with every step, keeping the load snug and centered no matter how the trail twists. Beyond the carry, the Jade 43L is thoughtfully laid out for real backcountry use. A tensioned backpanel keeps airflow moving between the pack and your back on warm approaches, while the adjustable torso length means you can dial in the fit before you ever hit the dirt. The front U-zip opens the main compartment wide for easy packing and unpacking at camp, and the zippered hipbelt pockets put snacks and sunscreen within reach without breaking stride. Made with partially recycled materials and finished with a PFC-free DWR treatment, this is a pack that takes care of you out there — and treads a little lighter in the process."
