Review on 🎒 Ultimate Versatility: Gregory Mountain Products Daypack Mercury Unveiled by Mike Larkin

I am an experienced outdoor person who has been using Gregory backpacks daily for more than 6 years. My favorite commuter backpack over the past few years has been the Maya 22, which I bought from EMS in New York between 2013 and 2014. I loved this thing. Unfortunately, it eventually became so worn that it had to be replaced. I figured I'd just provide the latest version of Gregory and transition smoothly, so I bought that. I liked the look at first, but when I wanted to transfer the contents from my old Gregory Maya 22, I was dismayed to realize that this bag is simply much smaller, or the design simply doesn't allow for as much packaging. Unfortunately, since my old bag had failed (part of the frame ended up fraying through the fabric and causing severe chafing on my back) and I didn't want to end my streak of avid runners, I decided not to return it, hoping instead to "take it to the It was a mistake. Trying to bring my typical workday's stuff home, I crushed a pair of very expensive sunglasses as the bag simply couldn't even hold 3/4 the volume of its excellent Maya 22 predecessor. I was disappointed with Gregory's product. In this case, they preferred form to form. It's a stylish looking bag, but it's not a 'casual bag' and it's not even comfortable to walk around in. For the record, I usually walk along a lightweight MacBook Air laptop, a change of clothes, a soft down jacket and maybe a few other small items (e.g. wallet, sunglasses, phone n, charger) that I could throw in my old Gregory Maya 22 without worrying about strategic packaging. This bag can't comfortably fit all day and the strap/hanging system seems to be worse too. I am very used to running with backpacks and felt irritated and sore after using them. I wish I could return it.
