Gregory  Nano 18 Pack

This pack is the perfect size for day hikes or summer camp use. I use the 3 liter Gregory hydration bladder which fits the pack seamlessly. The main pocket is roomy and can accommodate the ten essentials. I've used it for 4 years and have not seen any deterioration. Only thing I would change would be to add a padded waist belt with pockets that can be accessed without removing the pack. Even loaded with a full water pack and day gear it is still comfortable.

I bought two of these at Death Valley a couple of years ago. The more we use them, Im amazed at how well engineered and crafted this unit is. Somebody really knew from experience what was important. It was made for hikers. Not a fashion accessory. i dont hesitate to recommend this backpack. but we, my wife and I really only needed one.

Good quality and stylish bag. However, it’s very, very narrow. My 3rd grader can’t even fit his water bottle and lunchbox inside the main compartment. Certainly not practical for a yuppie commuter either. Dimensions on website suggest it could wider than it is (10.6in versus 7.9in.) Thankfully it’s not overpriced.

There’s a lot to like in the Nano 18, but I find that the stretch mesh on the side pockets is too loose, so water bottles tend to easily slip out. Really hope this can be improved.

Fantastic day hike bag. Super comfortable even with the added weight of personal items and adequate water.

Nice backpack, I just wish it had more pockets externally to put in Wallet or Keys
