Gregory Deva 60

I have the 2007 model of the Gregory Deva 60 and find the new one to be a few ounces heavier in weight, without really adding anything to the capacity of the pack. They also removed the ability of the top lid becoming a fanny pack, as well as the extra buckle that went along with it, and the terrific stash spot that went along with it under the top lid! Real bummer indeed! Over all I really LOVE my Gregory Deva, and wish they would bring back that feature, as it made for a wonderful spare hip belt buckle if one broke in the field. I have hiked with my Deva all over the Washington Cascades now, and up and around Mt Rainier, and find I love the Gregory suspension, and the way it moves with me. One can tighten it down when necessary, to restrict movement, and loosen it back up again, when you want to. Great invention!! The hip belt and shoulder harness padding are perfect for handling a heavier load, although for most weekend loads, it's definitely overkill. The new hipbelt pockets could be handy, if they were a bit larger, perhaps. I find it can handle, with judicious packing, everything necessary for a week's worth of supplies for a thru-hike on the PCT, or the AT, or any trail, in 3 season backpacking. Yes, it's a bit heavy for a thru hike pack, but for those of us with bad backs, this pack may be an option. I find I'm comfortable in it even after a long day's hiking, even on Mt Rainier. I have carried loads in it up to about 30-35 lbs, including consumables, and find it handles very nicely. However, the inside H2O sleeve does not handle 3L Camelbaks very well- they are a bit large for this particlar sleeve, but DO work in a pinch. I can cram all manner of gear into this pack though for a week's hiking, including my sub zero down bag, clothing etc...and only put my sleeping mat on the outside, with plenty of room for more gear outside, if I choose. I usually have room to spare. The 2007 version of the Deva has an expansion collar in it, which has never come into play for me. The expansion collar means it has a double enclosure before the top lid closes it off against the elements. The whole thing "buttons up" nicely indeed, a definite improvement over many others I have seen on the market. One of the reasons I chose it, was because of how well it all fit together. A bear cannister CAN be fitted on the outside of this pack, in between the upper lid and the main body of the pack, or on the bottom, below the main body of the pack. Both places seem to work equally well. I own a clear style bear cannister, 7 day capacity. I found this pack to be very versatile, for weekend hikes, week long hikes (packed well), and can be used for a thru hike as well, although a bit heavy. It packs well, carries well and one can set it down nearly anywhere without worry, with the heavy duty waterproof bottom. I have used mine an entire season now, and mine shows nary a scratch. It is most definitely a pack mule, and will carry whatever you want to stick into it, or tie onto it. Definitely have plans to by at least one more Gregory pack- probably the Jade 50, and perhaps a larger 80-90L pack for longer trips in the future. Thanks Gregory for making such fantastic gear! PROS- Made well,durable materials, should last for years! Heavy duty water proof bottom- can set down anywhere. Versatile- can be used for a multitude of uses. Organization is easy with this pack. Handles heavier loads with ease. Moves with the hiker, not against them. (a rather new concept in pack belts) Great pack for someone with back problems. CONS- Heavy weight for today's ultralight hikers. Wouldn't be most hiker's first choice for a thru-hiker's pack. Rather pricey for beginner hikers. Must pack well to use for more than a week end jaunt.

Deva 60 v. Ariel 65: Go Gregory
Rating:
This year I hiked about 500 miles of the A.T. I wanted to try on my pack with weight in in before buying, so I went to a retail store where I found two main contenders: Osprey Ariel and Gregory Deva. I loaded each pack, and wore both before deciding on the Osprey. Why did I like it? It looked nicer, it was cheaper, it was lighter, and it held more. I also found the hip belt on the osprey pack to be more comfortable, though I was a bit worried about the chest strap, which didn't feel great against my collar bones. In the end, I figured hips were more important than collarbones. After 75 miles I returned the Ariel 65 pack for the following reasons: Q. Front mesh panel ripped right out R. Major bruising of collar bones: weeks after my 75 mile excursion they were very tender S. Some part of the pack dug into my lower back, causing a scar that I still have. I upgraded to the Gregory Deva. I liked the smaller size (I still was carrying a pack larger than many thru hikers), the abundance of pockets (Ariel has 1 main pocket and 1 top pocket), and the PADDING. Deva weighs a pound more, but it is a pound I was happy to haul for 400 miles. Where the Osprey pack dug into my back, Gregory literally put a pillow. The "load lift" straps made the load much more adjustable. Over the course of the day, I would often wear it in two positions, which brought relief for collar bones and back muscles. With the Deva pack, access to my water bottle became an option due to the clever hidden nalgene sized holder. Front access, alone with 2 side pockets and a front pocket made use of the pack more convenient. I no longer had to take everything out to get my sandals or pack cover. The hip belt was not as good as my osprey hip belt had been, and sometimes it was painful. Some days I would have to readjust a few times to make it feel ok. I'm 5'6'', apparently with a short torso, as I needed size small in both packs. Gregory's hipbelts are sized according to the size of the pack. The size small waist belt was good for me, but by the end of the hike, it was pretty close to being pulled all the way together. I usually wear size six, not particularly thin for a hiker...skinny girls, especially with longer torsos, should make sure that the belt with get small enough for them.

Great Backpack
Rating:
I love the Gregory Deva. For years I had the Gregory Z, a nice pack, but the airlines ripped it up pretty badly after a trip to Hawaii. I tried on all the backpacks my local REI had and the Deva fit like a glove. The padded back support is comfortable and keeps the air circulation flowing. The backpack is easily adjustable, well built, and sturdy. The hip belt and shoulder straps are well padded. With my Gregory Z my hips and shoulders got sore, bruised, and sometimes rubbed raw by the skinny padding. With the Deva I never have an issue the straps stay put and my shoulders feel great! I never knew backpacking could be so comfortable. The Deva holds a ton of stuff and keeps everything organised. The Gregory Z had very few pockets and finding small items could be interesting. With the Deva I can quickly locate whatever I need in my pack, and the water bottle holder is an easy place to store my bear spray. While the Deva is heavy, almost 3lbs heavier then the Gregory Z, because of the padding and support the pack feels lighter on my back. I have cut off or removed the straps I don't use to reduce the weight a bit more, but overall this is a great pack I can easily do a 2-5 nights without a problem. And I get out more with the Deva because backpacking doesn't hurt!

Well designed and Comfortable
Rating:
I used this pack for a two week backpacking trip across Europe and it was completely wonderful. My favorite thing about the pack is the hip straps. They are thickly padded and move with you when you walk. Also, Gregory did a good job creating this pack for women's proportions. I'm 5'4" and I always used my boyfriend's packs (he's 6') on mountain and desert trips. I thought that it didn't matter what kind of pack you had, they would always just kind of feel heavy and uncomfortable. However, this pack balances the weight really well and the heavily padded straps make it no big deal to carry for 4 or 5 hours a day. The only thing I don't like about it is that the zipper to the sleeping bag compartment is curved, so it sticks, which is annoying, but that's the only downside I've found so far. Another things I like is that you can take the top off and use it as a day pack, which I think will be really useful on 2 or 3 day trips. I have yet to try it in the mountains or the desert, but I'm confident it will be a similar experience.

Great pack for the weekend hiker
Rating:
I have the 2007 version of this pack, and it has stood the test of time. Its easy to pack, well made and can hold all of my things. I love everything about it. You can also size it to your body's dimensions; I got a short bag, but with a medium waistband. The store had NO problem changing out the components. My only con: I went through two other bags before I got one that could actually go on a hiking trip. The first bag arrived missing a grammot on the waist band attachment on the bag. The second had a zipper that couldnt open, regardless of how much 'encouragement' I gave it. The store was very flexible, but it still took 2 months of trials, returns and waiting for a replacement. In the end, I'm thankful I went through it though as I love the bag.

Deva is Awesome!

This is the best bag I have ever owned and purchased. When I first started getting into what i call "The Nature" I didnt even know what backpacking meant. I have extremely weak shoudlers and instant neck pain if even the slightest pressure is applied. After trying out about 4 backpacks, I came across this one, and at first I saw the price and went out of the roof, but it was the extra padding that got me to try it on. I walked around the store with just 35 pounds and I forgot I had the bag on and started to shop. Seriously! Its super durable, water proof, zipper is awesome and I highly recommend it to any girl with a small torso and hates to feel pain on her shoulders.

Very Adjustable
Rating:
I bought this pack for my wife and she loves it! We went on a 14 mile overnight trip and it was her first one. The pack was a little uncomfortable at about mile three but with a few adjustments she was feeling better. The sleeping bag compartment is nice becasue you have access to it without moving any other gear. The water bottle pocket is also really handy. There are A LOT of adjustments that you can make to get that perfect fit. Even the torso length has two settings. There are plenty of pockets all over the bag and the front access in addition to the top access is really handy. I highly recomend this pack for all women!

Very comfortable, adjustable
Rating:
My first backpack (so no direct comparisons), but I was very impressed with the comfort and 65-million-way adjustability of this pack. My husband was using an old external frame and I was definitely more comfortable in my pack after 2 days. Good back support. Hip belts rubbed some, but learning to adjust the pack for my load and hike fixed this. Sleeping bag compartment was too small for my bag (a L Marmot stuff sack), but fit my husband's M bag quite nicely. 5 lbs in my daypack felt heavier than 30 in this pack!! :)

Comfortable but Heavy
Rating:
I chose this back for the Wonderful way it fit my back. That padding and shape in the lower back is just superb. It also holds a ton...you can go well over a week without resupply, eating well, using the Deva 60. Lots of pockets, great organization potential. Highly adjustable depending on your load. However, it is HEAVY. Three weeks on the AT, and I think I had the heaviest bare pack out there, no lie, large males included. I love the pack, but the weight it ridiculous, and I'm going for a lighter one.

I bought this pack for my wife, who had never been backpacking before. She said it was awesome! It was a little uncomfortable about mile two or three but with a few adjustments, she was fine. There are so many little things to adjust to customize it an individuals needs. The waterbottle pocket was also really handy. Her sleeping bag fit fine inside it's compartment and she even was able to carry the extra weight of the dogs water and food. (I carried the tent). I do recomend this pack for any woman.

Not good enough
Rating:
I used the Diva on an extensive 3 month trip in Europe, 2 months of which I was exclusively camping and 1 month of pure hiking/ camping. The Diva did not make me happy :( First of all, the top pocket (usually used for storing books, passport, etc) has an opening that a normal size paperback book cannot squeeze into. It's impossible to fish for anything in this compartment, and for me it's one of the most important pockets since I usually store my journal, small camera, etc in here. Second, I couldn't reach the water bottle sling with my backpack on. I finally just fashioned a strap out of duct tape so I could access water without help or taking off my bag. The bag did not evenly rest on my back/ shoulders. It would always lean to the right. At first I thought it was my pack job, but after many attempts of re-stuffing the bag I just strapped by tent to the left side in order to rectify the lean. Finally, the chest strap slipped off the track and could not be re-attached. I had to tie it around my shoulder strap and eventually it was lost, so I went a week of hiking all day without this crucial strap. I would only recommend this bag for weekend trips and easier hiking- it isn't dependable for long hiking adventures.
