Gregory

Deva 60L Backpack - Women's

Uncomfortable

I had such high hopes for this bag. The compartments are awesome. Obviously the build quality is superior because Gregory is the best. However, the hip belt on this bag is so uncomfortable. I've gone on a couple of backpacking trips with it and I can never get the hip belt just right, which is no good when you're packing 30+lbs. Also the pockets on the hip belt are basically useless with how small they are. I wish I had bought a different bag.

Great features

Once I got the right size and fit, this pack suited me well for a 3 night trip. The sidekick is an important feature so I can set up camp and still hike with less to carry. Sturdy, just the right number and size of pockets, and top or front load all serve me well.

Great pack making hiking/camping easy

This pack had multiple different pockets and features that are well thought out. The included day pack made a trip to the Grand Canyon much easier as you could leave the full pack behind for lighter weight.

Good backpacking pack

Used this pack so far for a 5 day backpacking trip. Was able to fit a bear can in it along with all my stuff for a 5 day trip through the Sierras. I loved all the pockets - it helped keep everything organized. Overall, it was comfortable. My biggest issue with it though is that the waistband is too big for me and it doesn't come in a smaller size. I got the Small. I have a 17" torso, 25" waist, 33" hips and I could not get the waist straps to tighten enough. I ended up having to take the buckle off to give me 3 more inches to tighten it down, and then I also had to use foam padding my friend had to increase bulk, making it a huge pain to take the pack on/off, and even then it was too big. Overall, I think it would be a good backpacking pack for a 2-7 day trip. I just wish the waist belt came in smaller sizes. If you are petite, I would suggest another brand.

I love everything about this pack with the exception of the hip belt. Every trip left me with large bruises on my hips until I created some additional padding and added it to the existing belt.

Deva 60 - Women - Gregory

an excellent all-around hauler for weekend and week-long trips alike

Solid from Idaho to Norway!

When deciding to upgrade my backpacking set up, I mulled over which rucksack to get for months. I consulted all my buddies in the industry and read every review and always came back to the Deva. What a solid choice it was! I've now had this pack through a summer season in central Idaho and a winter season while I study outdoor education in Norway. This pack has already been through hell and back but it's structural integrity and every piece of it still looks pristine. Gregory did phenomenal with the pocket set up, access points, and tiny details (the sunglasses holder is my absolute favorite). My only gripe with it is the bottom section (separated by a removable divider) barely fits my Kelty synthetic sleeping bag. It makes me worry I'll break the zipper and wish I opted for a down bag. Nonetheless, it deserves the awards it got!

Awesome pack

Gregory makes great packs to begin with, and the Deva stays in that tradition. It's been used on multiple over night and several night stay trips. Holds enough for one person for a couple days and has enough space to carried a part of kiddos gear when we've gone on family trips. My wife loves this pack and I would highly recommend it because of her experience with it.

Wish it was a little larger or had a few more spots to hook carabiners to the outside. Overall, I love that the front fully opens. It has a good number of pockets to stash different items and stay organized. It fits my body perfectly. Moves with me.

Favorite Pack

Perfect fit for my 5’2” frame. Very comfortable on long hikes and love all the extra pockets and attachments and it comes with a small detachable mesh backpack.
