Review on Gregory Mountain Products Hydration Backpack Motorcycle & Powersports better for Accessories by Vaibhav Karger

Can be a lightweight backpack for hiking while maintaining the size of your carry-on. I've broken my review down into front and backcountry usage below: Front Country: It looks good and feels good out of the box. I went with the Nightshade Purple color, and while this humble shade admittedly looks less fun than the Laguna Blue and Coral Red options, it does have a certain sophistication. The majestic nightshade purple looks great in the country and won't feel out of place in an office setting or paired with non-sportswear. As a busy traveler most of my stuff is versatile and I love that the design of this backpack can support more sporting activities while the aesthetic can handle rural events. Color aside, the hydration pocket doubles as a laptop compartment (small laptops only - it holds my 13 inch laptop) and there are plenty of smaller external pockets to organize your stationery and stationery. The compartment is roomy, it can also be a bit cavernous. I wish the main compartment had at least one small pocket inside to help with organization. needed, but it doesn't seem too unwieldy. This backpack is also approved as hand luggage. So far I've had no problems taking this backpack with me on Delta and Frontier flights. Even stuffed to the gills, it fits nicely under the seat in front of me on a couple of Delta flights (untested in Frontier). fairly breathable, but I did experience some moisture build-up in warm weather with a heavy sweater. The hip belt covers a large area and has pockets on both sides. I didn't have any issues with the multiple zippers in the backpack, but I wish there were two zippers in the back compartment instead of one. I always seem to be fumbling around the right side of my pack looking for the zipper which is actually on the left side. It can also be a little awkward to dig a single zipper with a fully loaded backpack and pull it the length of the zipper until it reaches its final resting place. Having two zippers and connecting them where is most convenient saves a little time and effort closing a stuffed pack. With spacious hip belt pockets, two water bottle pockets and a spacious main compartment, this backpack could theoretically also be suitable for an ultra-light hike. The only problem is that there is no free space to lay the sleeping pad. I wish there were straps at the bottom of the pack so I could secure the pad. Pros: Versatility; Can be used for indoor and outdoor life events. carrier size. Comfortable suspension. Hip belt pockets left and right. Spacious main compartment.
