Gregory Citro 24L H2O Unisex Day Hiking/Backpacking Hydration Backpack Breathable Backpanel and Shoulder Harness, One Size Fits All, Spark Orange

日帰り登山で使用するために購入しました。 デザインもポケットも気に入ってます。荷物満タンでも重さを感じさせません。

背面メッシュとしては軽いと思う。実測919g。金属フレーム＋よくたわむメッシュ、感触良い。背面隙間が(昔の)ドイターより狭い？が、重心が近く良いと思う。背筋を伸ばせば隙間と通風が増す。 コンプレッションベルトは上側のみだが、正面パネル全体を引き上げるように締めてくれる。下側にベルトを追加してみても特段効果はなかった。 ピッケル,ストックホルダは左側にあり。下側ループは長短2本。上側はバンジーコード1ヶ所、コンプレッションベルトを使えば更にシッカリ。 ただ調整機構が無く、ユーザの背面長を選ぶ。商品タグには適用40.6～53.3cmとあるが、約51cmの私で丁度ピッタリなので、実際は49cm～あたりに限られるのではないか。また濃色のため炎天下で温度が上昇。非常に良い品なのでサイズや色の展開に期待したい。

Backpack review Osprey Manta 24 vs Gregory Citro 24 I narrowed my decision for a daypack with frame and hip-belt with pockets down to these two packs, based on high reviews for both. Manta kudos: has a better back trampoline, pack fully separate from the back. Trekking pole stash while wearing. Built-in rain cover. Adjustable shoulder strap height. Citro kudos: smaller, looks less “over the top”; shoulder straps were more comfortable; more subdivision for storage; larger stretch pocket; easier zippers on waist belt pockets. Equal: side mesh pockets accessible with pack on; both are comfortable, both sit on hips well and take pack weight off shoulders. Both good packs, but kept the Citro. Mainly for trimmer size and better pockets (I prefer multiple pockets, the Manta design was more about one large central storage area). I didn’t prefer (but wasn’t totally against) the Manta’s sideways-entry back panel pocket. The Manta shoulder straps were slightly chafing my shoulders on test loads, so it concerned me that might amplify on actual hikes. I also heard some intermittent squeaking from the Manta on test loads walked around my small house. I really liked the Citro’s pocket setup, lots of areas to subdivide gear, the main storage area had a small separate zippered pouch up top. The main storage is plenty big, but the Manta was bigger. The Manta had smaller and less of the various outer pockets. The back stretch pocket was noticeable smaller than on the Citro. If you don’t like lots of sections and pockets, you won’t want the Citro. I didn’t get a chance to try the water reservoir in the Manta, since I returned it, but even just the connection system for the hanger was easier on the Citro. The Citro mouthpiece worked great, but wasn’t anything special. It looked like the same mouthpiece on the Manta. The reservoir is very easy to access, attach/remove, and fill. I also like that the tube disconnect was up top, unlike my old Camelbak. Both seemed to use the same or similar sternum strap connector, it was minimalist and magnetic (but also had hooks to keep it attached). It can be connected and disconnected one-handed. It worked great on the Citro. The mouth piece stays magnetically attached just fine. And there is also a strap storage hook for the tube when not wearing the pack. The Citro overall felt more like a souped-up day pack, while the Manta seemed more like a toned down backpacking pack. I’m not sure if they both had the same storage volume of 24 liters, but the Manta just looked bigger. It was visibly bigger just sitting next to the Citro. Maybe the Citro was more about the multiple pockets for the volume, while the Manta was more about “one big pocket” design which made the pack need to be larger. And the better back trampoline support in the Manta may have also been a factor. Might have just made it appear larger. I don’t think you could go wrong with either pack. I preferred the multiple smaller pockets approach of the Citro, along with the trimmer profile, the easier to access and unzip waist belt pockets, and the well-engineered water reservoir system. I have to also note that upgrading to a pack with a frame and a hip belt was a worthy investment for my hikes. It’s night and day as far as hauling my gear compared to the Camelbak MULE I am upgrading from. I’ve been using the Citro on multiple extended day hikes, and have been very pleased with the choice and the purchase. I have no regrets, and find that Gregory has put a lot of thought into all the details of this pack.

This is a great light weight pack, the shoulders and support against my back are very comfortable on rugged terrain hikes. I have past surgeries on my shoulders, and other packs have always given me issues, this Gregory Pack does not! Hip pockets are awesome for carrying bandaids, small items and such. The water pack when full does take take up room in the pack, however when filling at 2ltr. It works great for a nice 3-5 hike. Only negative, the H2O bite valve has a magnet that sticks to a clip on the pack, which is very weak….

疲れない。旅行には丁度良いサイズ
