Back panel, shoulder straps and hipbelt are sized and shaped for a woman's body; they feature air-mesh to vent and wick away moisture
With rear zipper access for easy refilling, a sleeve for your reservoir (sold separately) and exit port system to manage the tube, this pack is completely hydration compatible
Expandable, stretch-mesh front mesh pocket with 3-point compression lets you stash bulky gear and keep it easily accessible
Zippered fleece-lined MP3/electronic top pocket for storage of your portable music or electronics
Dual hipbelt pockets are ideal for stashing electronics or snacks; internal cargo stabilizer loop holds valuable electronics in place when pocket is open
Side mesh pockets keep water bottles and snacks within easy reach

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

The size of the pack is decent, but I had a difficult time getting to anything in the bottom of the pack. I took this on an all day hike on Mt Whitney, and I found that I kept unloading most of the pack to get to what I needed. I agree that the zippers just don't go down far enough for easy access. I'm probably going to return it and find another pack.

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

I used this day pack to hike Half Dome in Yosemite, CA. It was perfect for the 14-16 mile day hike. I loved how all of the pockets came in handy and kept me organized. In the easily accessible hip belt pockets,I was able to store my point and shoot camera, snacks, lip balm, head lamp, whistle, and small compass. The front compartment held my sun hat, sun block, gloves, insect repellent, and sunglasses. The other compartments held my snacks, fleece, small first aid kit, and other necessary items.

I was also able place both my trekking poles in one of the side mesh pockets securely when I wasn't using them while climbing the cables.

I carried a 2L hydration bladder, in addition to a 1L nalgene bottle on the side. Even with all this weight, I was comfortable.

The padding was comfy as well, and my back was kept dry, despite my sweating through a 85 degree hike.

My only small gripe, as others have mentioned, is that I wish the zippers for the main compartment went down further to make it easier to get to things.

I am highly satisfied with this day pack, as it fits my needs and petite frame perfectly. I am 5'1" at 105lbs, with 17" torso, and had a difficult time finding a comfortable pack before the Gregory Maya 18 came along. Other people who are taller/bigger may not find the pack as comfy.

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

I was in Europe and spent my days exploring cities. This pack was perfect in that it was roomy enough for plently of items (large water bottle, umbrella, wallet, camera, snacks, sunglasses, etc.) and still had room for small "touristy" things I found along the way.

The pack was very comfortable & while I was not use to hauling an extra 15 lbs on my back, my back/shoulders never felt sore. The padding was in the right spots for me and the straps were very easy to adjust. I should say that I did try on several other packs before purchasing this one. The reason I went with this one was that it fit me the best - which is key in determining which pack to buy. Make sure you try on several to ensure you get one that will fit your body!

I think this is a perfect pack for the beginner who wants to do a light day hike or is exploring a new city for a whole day.

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

This is a nice pack for a day hike, but it is also hard to get to things at the bottom because the zippers don't go down far enough. A panel pack should have zippers going the length of the panel. There are nice compartments in the pack for separating the stuff you put in it.

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

Great daypack, yes, but theres obviously a spot to put your water bladder but no hole to extend the drinking hose out of! I have to sift it through the top of the bag, which means the zipper wont close all the way, and then eventually opens up on its own. Great bag, but annoying without the extra slot for your water tube. How in the world did the company forget to include this? Unless Im missing something. Can someone enlighten me?

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

I am 5'4" and had a tough time finding a day pack that was comfortable, lightweight, and that could fit a good amount of gear. This bag was perfect! It is extremely comfortable on the shoulders and around the back. Gregory did a really great job designing this day pack for a women's frame. The material is also great quality. I had originally purchased a Camelbak, but returned it (bad fit for my petite size). I purchased the black ink color, which is nicer than it appears in the photo. I've used this to carry my laptop and light clothing as a city commuter. I also plan to take it on the 4-day Inca trail hike (we will have porters to carry other items).

Fantastic pack to strap on for an impromptu run home from work. Holds a lot and stays tight to your body w/o moving around. Straps are phenomenal and adjust to your individual fit! Love it!

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

I love this lightweight little pack. I'm petite (15" torso, 27" waistband), and it sits very well on my frame. It expands to fit my camera (DSLR), extra lens, tablet, small water bladder, extra water, light jacket, granola bars, pen and journal in the main and side compartments, and lip balm, cards, cash, keys, dog bags and phone in the waist band and "media" pockets. There's also a little velcro attach-y thingie on one shoulder strap that I usually use to keep my water hose mouthpiece easily accessible. The pack is well balanced, launders easily, and is nicely rugged, especially the zippers.

I initially bought it as a minimalist day-pack and biking backpack. I've since also used it for urban day-trips, work, bouldering and hiking with my dog, sleepovers, an emergency gym bag, beach trips, car camping, etc. Its incredible utility is the reason I'm strongly leaning towards a full-sized Gregory travel backpack. Between the two, I'll should be set for almost all travel.

My only (minor) gripe is that I would like for the the zippers on the main compartment to come down an inch or two more so I don't have to wrestle my camera in and out of the pack. Other than that, the entire pack is very well thought out.

Comments about Gregory Maya 18 Pack - Women's:

Being only 5' tall it's been hard to find a daypack to fit me. I've now found it. The mesh pockets are even big enough for my nalgene bottles. It has the padded waist belt I've been looking for. I'm a very happy day hiker now.
