"Great pack, lightweight, holds up to wear & tear. GET IT."

This is a great pack. I'm 6'2" and got the size L and it fits great. I'm using this pack for 1 to 3 night backpacking trips and it works great. First experience with Gregory packs but so far am impressed and would def recommend over TNF (of which I have a couple) as well my Dana Design pack. Main pocket has good space, so does the "bucket" pocket and outer pockets. Very comfortable to wear for extended time on hikes. Get it.
The roll-top closure took a little while to get use to, but now I love it. It's a great change from your regular pull cord back packs.The back JetStream suspension is unreal, in a good way!I got the Tin Roof and looks awesome!Like I said, once you figure out and get around the roll-top closure, youll fall in love!10 thumbs up!
"Not ultra light, but it comes close and carries well."

Love the roll top enclosure. Suspension is great. You'd be pushing it for a weekender. Either way, it will definitely make you very aware of how much stuff you don't need. Wish it had a side pocket for a water bottle or tent poles, etc. It does have a super huge exterior bucket pocket that can easily handle a pair of Chacos, tent or soaked rain fly - very handy and very accommodating. Not to mention, the enormous pocket on the outside of that bucket pocket - I stuff my tent in it (minus the poles, of course). No real negatives. Oh, maybe that the tin roof color is totally lighter than in the description image - More misleading than an issue ;)
"Great Pack, Great Suspension, IT IS NOT THE 2010 model though"

This is a great pack. I love the roll-top. The suspension is great. It easily carries a full-load. The only problem is that this is being advertised as the 2010. I'm fairly certain it is not. From what I understand, the 2010 Jetstream LTS suspension has an adjustable waistbelt and NO MESH. This pack has neither of those features.Great price on a great pack though…just a 2009 not 2010.
you might be able to squeeze 2 nights in this bag if your a minimalist, but i like to eat drink and be merry while out in the wilderness...so things can get tight but overall i love it....great ventilation and very comfy im a big guy at 6' and 225lbs and the medium wears well.
This pack is great, perfect size for short backpacking trips. I have taken this pack on multiple backpacking trips in the Ozarks and on a 4 week adventure through Russia and the pack is still holding up great. Very comfortable to wear as well.
This is my third gredory bag and I love it. It has a ton of pockets and places to latch things. The best part of this bag is the carrying system, it makes a great fit. Works good for extended week end trips but is not a through and through backpacker, too small. One complaint I have with it is the holes for the hose on the water bladder are pretty tight. Usually I end up spilling some water on the ground because the valve gets pinched. I would still buy it again.
I purchased this pack for my day hiking and 1 day overnight adventures. I had purchased a 4000 square bag earlier in the year and wanted something to supplement that and my other smaller bag. I use this bag almost every chance I can. The bag is very light, extremely easy to use and very trendy. The best thing about this bag is the support system. I have to say that I can carry just as much in this pack as I can my 4000 sqare pack and it feels lighter in this baby! The top opens up kind of like a sandwhich bag folded over, which is a bit different from the standard zip down type of bag. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about it. Great purchase...
