Getting Into Gear

By Meg S.

Less than two weeks until our departure I panicked upon realizing that my backpack, a Marmot Diva 36, would be too small to fit my clothing and my sleeping bag. A few days I purchased a Gregory Women's Jade 50 on www.theclymb.com for $100. This backpack retails for $230 so I was pumped to find such a great deal!  As you can see from the pictures below, the Jade is significantly larger and has more structured harness system. Another feature that I like about this pack is the expandable front pocket for storing extra gear. Comment below with any questions about either backpack.
