Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

This was an excellent pack for my first 5 night backpacking trip on the West Coast of BC. We did the Juan de Fuca hike and the bag held everything that I needed with room to spare. All the little side pockets are excellent for storing and compartmentalizing, and the side zip access makes it so easy instead of unloading everything from the top.

The pack fits great at the hips and the straps are highly adjustable. I would recommend this pack for anyone doing overnight hiking.

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

Took this on the JMT and then some (over 250 miles, 24 days) and it kept the load feeling comfortable and like I was carrying almost nothing. Great back support, especially in the lower back, which I found missing from similar sized packs from other brands. I'm not super petite (though I am on the small side), but the belt cinch was completely drawn and I couldn't close it any tighter on the XS pack I bought (you buy the size to fit your torso length, not your waist). I'm glad I'm not thinner or I would've had problems. The chest strap would also roam up and down often when I took off the pack & put it back on, but it's easy to adjust, so that wasn't a big issue. I did get bruises on my collar bone, but the straps are VERY well padded in both the belt and shoulder straps and I always get collar bone bruises, so perhaps it's just me. I loved the detachable "brain" or top compartment on the pack, and having the Nalgene bottle pocket on the side of the pack aimed forward made it SO MUCH easier to remove and replace my Nalgene as I hiked. Lots of great compression straps, which can also be used for attaching things. Sits well on the hips. Would recommend.

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

I just used this pack to hike the Skyline to the Sea trail through Big Basin Redwood State Park in California. (Which is an absolutely gorgeous place and you should go if you ever get the chance!) It was only a 3 day trip and my bag was probably about 35 lb. It was very comfortable... I had almost no lower back or shoulder pain after hiking with it all day. I also found all of the pockets to be perfectly placed and easily accesible and the compression straps helped balance the weight tremendously even though my pack was only partially full. In other comments I had read that people didn't really find the pockets on the waist strap helpful but my experience was the opposite. My iphone DID fit in one, which was great easy access for photo opportunities. Also, we ended up getting caught on the trail with the sun setting, and I preemptively pulled out my head lamp and kept it in the other hip pocket for easy access. I also had kept some almonds in there at one point. On our second day we set up camp around lunch time so we could explore the rest of the area around the park headquarters pack-less. Of course we still had water and maps, etc that we wanted to bring so I de-tached the top and used it as a cross shoulder day bag and it worked perfectly.

I also want to mention that this was the only bag I brought for my whole trip to San Francisco... the hiking was only a small part of a bigger trip. I fit all of the stuff I needed around the city in it with my hiking gear and It still fit in the carry on compartment. I am replacing my suitcase with this because it is so much easier in the airport.

This is the only time I have used the bag so far... but I don't expect my feelings to change in the future. Can't wait to take it on my next adventure!

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

As a self-declare gear-head, I am always on the hunt for the most functional and most comfortable stuff to play with. This pack exceeded all of my expectations. Not only does the pack fit me like a glove, but it really moves with me too. I have hips and some junk in my trunk, and finding a pack that accommodates my swing has been a challenge. I usually end up saddle sore with hot spots on my hip bones. Not with the Deva.
On the pack's christening trip, it rained quite a bit. The pack held up quite well and didn't slip because of that awesome anti-slip lumbar pad (I was skeptical of that thing at first).
Also, I'm a huge fan of the multi-access points to get to the inside of the pack. It makes it easy to layer and de-layer along the hike.
I'm a Deva now.

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

I had purchased a different backpack early in the year and was unhappy with its lack of outside storage and lashing ability. I returned to REI and spent a good hour or so to find this one. I couldn't be happier. Not only is the storage capacity varied and convenient, the comfort level is tremendous. I just returned from hiking the Grand Canyon from rim to rim and carried this pack loaded to about 35 pounds. I never felt it. This was my first extended backpacking trip and I had been a little apprehensive about carrying the weight for an extended period, especially on the third day, climbing 4400 ft. in 10 miles of heat. But I was totally comfortable.

The various compartments are easy to access and have good capacity. The lashing straps are easy to navigate and hold a tent or sleeping pad easily. I also really like the drawstring system and how easily it operates.

I can't say enough how comfortable this pack is, fully loaded even. It doesn't come too high, and is wide enough to easily slip in the sleeping bag, tent and anything else bulky. It rotates with your hips as you climb and I never felt it rubbing anywhere.

I can't wait for the next backpacking trip in a few weeks!

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

This is the best pack I have ever found. The suspension on it is amazing! When you have the pack on you do not feel the weight of your gear. I often times forget if I have my pack on because of that. The pack's hip harness sways as you walk, which makes it a perfect fit for a woman's body. Gregory knows how to make a solid yet comfortable product. I recommend this pack and Gregory as a whole to everyone. You will love this pack from day one.

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

I used Deva 70 (size small) over a three month trip in Europe and West Africa. I nearly kicked myself for spending so much on a pack. Since then, however, my experience with the pack has been worth every penny.

It endured unusual forms of transport, hours spent on my back, "tug-of-wars" during situational times, and diverse weather climates, all while holding fragile items (which did not break!). The pack was practically weightless when adjusted correctly on your pack. The best part about adjusting your pack is that it was easy to reach around and "fix" as you go. I did not have to contend with zipper snags or strap breakage that I have experienced with other brands in the past. The pack can expand to such depth that I haven't seen before.

The only slight problem I have with the pack is the back support( which is the reason why the pack fits so great on one's back). It's bulky when packing into a trunk or on the roof of a car. I would take the amazing back support over having the pack fit perfectly into some trunk so it did not bother me!

Comments about Gregory Deva 70 Pack - Women's:

Bought this in May 2011 just before I left for a 3 year trek around the world. I've been really nice to her and bought a raincover and storage bag for airport checking. I tried on many packs and this seemed the one for me. I don't use the internal water sleeve for water storage though, I store important documents in ziplock bags there (handy for security and stays dry).

Holds a large amount of gear (I pack it FULL!!) and is still relatively comfortable for extended wear. So far it's held up beautifully and I love it! I like the lumbar support and good padding which is the envy of many of my friends, as well as, the ease of loading the pack. The bright blue color is pretty cute too.

My gripes:
*I'm not a fan of the zippered mesh pockets on the waist belt. I've put small things in there, but it is always too bulky and it's awkward when my arms keep hitting it, so I just choose not to use them.
*Not really sure of the side pockets on the bag itself (like where the water bottles go). One is normal and holds a bottle upright and one is large and sideways, its cumbersome and keeps coming untucked/unvelcroed. Seems too large and shallow to hold a bottle on its side, but what do I know...maybe I'm out of the loop and it's the "new thing". Either way I just ignore it and don't use it.
*Front zip to access pack is kinda pointless. It's so close to the top of the pack and I have to unclip the hood of the bag to access it anyway and the pack is usually packed so tightly it seems silly to struggle with digging. I might as well just enter in through the top because the hood is already unclipped and I can shift things around easier. Just a minor inconvenience, not really a problem.
