Gregory Deva 60 Backpack
The Deva 60 has been stocked with great storage/organization options. It seems as though there are exterior zip pockets everywhere - one on the front of the pack, two on the left side of the pack and one on the right side of the pack. There is a stretchy mesh open pocket on the left side with two zip pockets and another stretchy angled bottle holder on the right side with the one zip pocket. Twin gear/ice axe loops and quick-release sleeping pad straps finish of the exterior detail. Inside the pack, a “pouch” can be formed via an internal draw-string on the top of the pouch. This is a great place to stash your rain gear. There is also a removable hydration pouch with a hydration port tucked under a small flap on the right side of the pack. Towards the bottom of the pack, there is a false “bottom” which covers the middle portion of the pack interior and creates a partial separate compartment at the bottom of the pack. Accessing the interior of the pack is a snap with three different ways to get at your gear. There is a two-way dual zipper which zips from the center at the front bottom of the pack, another front two-way dual zipper which zips from the center about 3/4 way up the pack and lastly, a draw-string opening at the top of the pack.
Let there be no doubt that the Deva is designed for carrying your gear in comfort. The women’s Response Suspension System pivots to self-adjust its waistbelt to your hip angle while simoultaneuosly pivoting to mirror your body as it moves. The precurved shoulder straps and waistbelts are cushioned and supportive, and obviously cut for a women. The narrow ventilated back panel, also specifically designed for women, helps move moisture away and keep you cool. The Deva 60 comes in 3 sizes: X-Small: Volume: 3500 cu. in., Weight: 5 lbs. 0 oz., Small: Volume: 3700 cu. in., Weight: 5 lbs. 3 oz., Medium: Volume: 3900 cu. in., Weight: 5 lbs. 6 oz.

I own the Gregory Deva 60 2007 model- with a bad back, I had to buy a heavier, better padded pack…no “bags with straps” so to speak for me. I tried a few out, thanks to a local store, and settled with the Gregory as the most comfortable under a 30lb+ load. I try to actually only carry about 25lbs total with consumables, but it can go heavier at times. This pack is comfortable day in and day out, and I love the suspension system on it. One can tighten it down when necessary, to stop the movement, but actually one finds it quite nice, and no more “hip blisters” !! YAY! The bottom of these packs is nearly indestructible– bomb proof as they say…after a season’s use, it appears as tho it were new! This pack should last me many good years’ use.
It is also versatile….I take it on weekenders, on week long hikes, and I plan on using it on a thru hike in 2009. It will definitely serve me well.
While a bit on the heavy end, at least I know I will be comfortable and happy day in and day out on the trail, and my pack will survive the trip, without my having to be ultra careful with it.
In fact, I will be buying another Gregory pack soon…perhaps a Jade 50 for my weekend jaunts!! I would also like to get a bigger pack- I’m waiting for them to come out with their new Deva 85…
Peace!
