Review on Gregory Citro 36 H2O Hydration Backpack: Ideal Gear for Men on Mountain Ventures by Tyler Cooley

so i've used it a few times and i have to say for a complete backpacking/hiker this pack ticks all the boxes. It's comfortable, with numerous adjustment straps. The pockets are well thought out (I have a men's Citro 36 and my wife has a women's Juno 30. The Citro has an additional large zip pocket which houses a smaller mesh pocket with key clip (the smaller backpack doesn't, the mesh pocket) with Key ring is in main compartment.) All male color options are darker, deeper versions of female, hard to tell on website Hydration pack is great and water flows well, but on a particularly hot day we did a hike and found that the water in the tube heats up fairly quickly and is not refreshing from the first sip. So order insulating tubes for your backpack! Only real gripe is the side pockets, so I'm a big guy (42" waist). The side pockets are hard to reach. However, since I always have a buddy with me when I go hiking, that's not too much of an issue for me, but you will you might find that you don't need it and you can go with another package that doesn't have it weights vs yo your back is pretty unique (remember i'm a beginner) and the strain really feels like like it's not a burden at all.Combined with a good branded guarantee I have a feeling I'll get a lot out of this bag.You may not need a larger size (although I appreciate the space for whatever I can carry) but you will appreciate the product. Enjoy your trip!
