Gregory Citro 30 Backpack for Men

Love this bag. It's a perfect size for a day hike. Holds my rain jacket, my small camera bag, my first aid kit, hiking poles, a bunch of small accessories in the hip pockets like my sunglasses, phone, and spare camera batteries, and my 32oz. water bottle in the side netting. I can probably fit a few more things but just for testing the capacity of my main essentials, it seemed to fit a lot. Not much room for a warmth layer after all this, though. I'm a huge fan of the vapospan netting on the back. That is such an innovative feature to keep you cool and comfortable on longer hikes in hot weather. Channeled foam backs on other bags just can't compete with having physical space between the bag and your back. I love the color too. That brick red is really attractive. It seems well made and should last quite a few years of use. It would've been nice if it came with a rain fly though.

I added this pack to my quiver because I needed a lightweight pack that had extra volume for hauling gear + layers on winter and shoulder season adventures. It immediately became one of favorite packs in my line up. Exceptionally built, well designed, very comfortable. Still looks new after many ascents/descents over abrasive granite in Sierras. Almost cavernous in what it can hold. Handles variable volumes and weights well, cinch straps are effective at even with sub 10l loads. Hydration sleeve well designed for fast and efficient refills even when loaded. Recommended.

I bought this primarily as a school/work backpack. I really like the bag, but unfortunately, it does not fit my old 13" Mac Pro well. The frame keeps it from snuggling up against the back. It will work if you have it away from the frame, separated by a book or something. The pouch is really only meant for the hydration bladder. It does hold books pretty well, and I asked other reviewers before purchasing on if it would fit my hydroflask/Nalgene sized water bottles-they do, and I'm grateful for that. Supports are really good - definitely excited to take this on hikes.

I love this pack because it helps me stay organized on overnighters and the suspension is amazing (especially in the Texas heat)!

I bought this last year. It has adequate space for all your day hike needs and then some. The hydration system with hanger is great.

This being my third gregory backpack purchase, I would like to add that this is my favorite gregory design and I am utterly satisfied with the stitching and heft of fabric used. It actually feels better on my back than NOT wearing a backpack!. Once I had painted over the gregory insignia with a red and green yin/yang symbol, I felt more comfortable wearing this thing than not wearing any backpack. Congratulations on a perfect design.
