“My First Gregory”

“I have not yet used this pack - just got it yesterday so my opinion can only be taken with a grain of salt. The pack is great except for a few things which I am concerned about. I have a 31 inch waist/36 inch hip & the front of the waistband digs into my tummy. Not the high padded part, but when that part runs out right at the front where it's just the strap & the buckle. I weigh 140 lbs but i think if I was maybe 10 pounds lighter and had a little less chub in the front it wouldn't be a problem. :) The zippers have a rubber seal over them which make them more difficult to open (for waterproofing purposes0 but my husband who has a gregory pack said they will get easier to zip/unzip with use. The plum colour is a little bit darker than I thought it would be, but I still like it. The bottom of the internal frame is uncovered inside the pack so I have a small concern about clothing getting caught on it's edges.”
