Pieces said:another thing i like about both the jade and the osprey is that you can look up into the sky without bumping your head against the pack...

vagabondette said:This is the pack I have: http://www.rei.com/product/808309/osprey-talon-33-pack The large looks like it might fit you. I have a large now but I think I'll be going down to a small/Med because even on the shortest setting I think it's too big for me. We'll see how it goes when I have my pack packed.

Hi there, Vagabondette! So, this seems to be a day hiker pack...but it held up as an expedition pack? Were you able to carry everything you needed inside or did you strap stuff on the front as well?
I love the look of it....but I was told, "you need and expedition pack!" and those are pretty big!
Thanks for the help!
vagabondette said:Whoever told you you need an expedition pack is an idiot. You're not going on an expedition, you're going on what is essentially a long series of day hikes. You don't need expedition level gear, you need a change of clothes and toiletries.
vagabondette said:I personally would probably order both and return whichever I didn't like.Congrats on finding a pack you kinda like.
Wolfmoms said:I just returned from the Camino and both my daughter and I used the Osprey Talon 33 (because it would fit as airline carry-on) and carried up to 20 lbs (with daily food and water) and had absolutely no support problems. Wonderful pack .... will use it again when I return to the Camino in 2016 for my 65th birthday.
My pack is 50 litres but lightweight. I don't like having to shoe-horn stuff. It is also not comfortable for things to be swinging off the pack - why go to the trouble of a well designed pack only to spoil the dynamics?
Your 60L pack is fine, just don't over load it. Comfort is more important than size. I am not sure what the point is of a tiny back pack, but to each their own I guess. Have used my 60L on all 4 Camino's my very petite wife has a 50 and no issues with it.Should have added that I have the Jade 60 and love it, though it's obviously WAY too big for the camino. I tried the Jade 28 but the way the frame bowed, the internal space would have been hard to pack even though I could have gotten away with the volume. I also prefer a pack with a lid.
Hi Colleen,I am looking to buy a new backpack and was wanting to get a Gregory Jade large, but they only make them up to a medium. My measurements fall under: "Large/Tall: 20 inches and up (51 cm and up)". I would like to know if there are any tall women out there who have had the same problem and who could recommend a backpack to me.
