Hey everybody this is Jackie from the budget-minded travelers comm and i want to take a few minutes to show you today why i love my Gregory jade 50 backpacks so much and why i would recommend it for you as your go-to travel backpack but. First of all if you haven't watched my how to choose the right travel backpack video i recommend that you watch that one so that you can understand what we're getting into today I'm going to be talking about the three c's comfort capacity and convenience alright allow. Me to introduce you to my go to travel backpack the Gregory jade 50 it's a. Women's size small for my torso and the. Number 50 is the pack capacity in litres why is this important three reasons. Number one the fact that it's a size. Small is not only great for fitting my torso perfectly but it's a bonus because. Check this out oh whoa thanks okay this. Backpack is about 20 to 21 inches that. Makes it small enough to carry on which is really important to me because i prefer to carry on whenever possible the. Second reason the 50 is perfect for me is that it's small enough so that it discourages me from over packing yet. It's still big enough to fit everything that i need and the third reason is that. It seems to be the perfect size for any length of trip that i take i can take it. For weeks or months it always seems to be the perfect size for me and now we'll talk about comfort look closely at the. Frame of this backpack it's actually shaped against the curve of my back. There's lumbar support at the bottom and there's shoulder support at the top and. The frame never actually touches my back. So when a backpack fits right all the. Weight should be right on your hips and this should be fastened just above your hip bone so once i get all the straps at. Just the right length I'm actually really comfortable and i actually hiked machu picchu with this backpack for three days straight and i didn't have any problems with being sore i also packed like so keep that in mind all right on the convenience it's. Important to look at the pockets straps zippers and extra flair that the backpack has so starting at the top. There's one right across the top here which i like for two reasons on it. Makes a convenient spot to put things that I'll need to access a lot like sunglasses passport wallet hotel keys. There's even a strap on the inside here. For your keys so that they'll keep them in a convenient spot and the second. Think i like about this specific zipper is that the zipper is actually tucked in pretty close to my body so that when I'm wearing it's harder for a thief to. Get to and if you notice right here i. Actually keep a safety pin right there on that loop and that way i can safety. Pin the loop to the strap and it creates a lock on the zipper so i wouldn't have to worry about people trying to get into it anyway alright moving on if you open. It up you'll see that on the inside i. Don't know if you could see this from there, but we'll try there's a pocket. Right against the back here i don't know if you can see it but it fits documents. I always put my flight reservations and important things extra stash of money right there in that pocket because it's almost hidden and the rest of it is just a big open space I've actually got a pillow stuffed in there right now to show you and then on the outside the. First thing that you'll notice is this big bulky pouch and what i love about. This is that i actually use it to put my. Shoes in and you'll see that I've got some shoes in it right here this is a. Very versatile pouch for anything that's. Bulky shaped or maybe muddy i put muddy shoes muddy clothes in here all the time. So that's a great spot for any kind of. Shoes and then on the outside of this there's a long vertical pouch and this. Is actually pretty big this is where i keep my flip-flops because it seems to be the perfect size pocket for a flat pair of flip-flops and then on each side there are these. Adjustable pockets right here which you could also put shoes in or water bottles. There's a velcro if you're not going to use it and there's also a strap right here that you could put around the top of a water bottle or the end of a shoe to hold it in there and that's on both. Sides of this backpack there's also on. The very bottom besides the mud there're some straps here. You could put something long shaped in. This so like when i take this backpacking in the summer camping that's. Where i put my sleeping pad because it's a long awkward shape and it doesn't even then have to go into my backpack it just goes right on the bottom and the last. Think and probably the most important is. This side pocket right here this piece. Of magic allows me to be able to reach. At the bottom of my backpack without having to take everything out through the top every time when i need something that's packed deep and i almost forgot. Right here on the sides of the hip straps there's two more little pockets that are perfect for chapstick they even fit a little point-and-shoot camera and anything that you need to keep convenient with you while you're wearing your backpack those are great pockets for that and there's one more see that i. Didn't talk about with this backpack and that's cost and that's another reason why i love this backpack i actually went. To rei to get fitted for this backpack they had a blue one in the store and once i decided the best the backpack i really wanted i went to the rei outlet and i found this one which is even more perfect for me because my favorite color is red this backpack cost me a hundred. And four dollars on the rei outlet so i was able to save a lot of money that way. So there you have it a complete introduction and review of my favourite backpack the Gregory jade 50 i hope. You've enjoyed this video if you have please give it a thumbs up and come on over to check out my blog and podcast at the budget-minded travelers comm for. Even greater travel tips have a great day you.

got just enough features with a comfortable and technical suspension system that's going to keep you comfortable on the trail all day long it's the Gregory women's sula 18 liter

Thinking the right pack can seem like a very overwhelming experience for a lot. Of reasons there are so many packs in the market it's kind of hard to narrow down which one is right for you i like. To look at three things when I'm picking it back first what's my purpose i want. To make sure if I'm doing day hikes overnight trips I'm using it as a carry-on that it fits that specific reason then it needs to fit me and fit. My body to make sure that it's dispersing all the weight properly and finally i wanted to be as comfortable as it can be when i first moved to alaska. This was the pack that i picked up it was deuter future pro 34 litre sl which. Sl on the deuter brand is a pack line. That is designed specifically to fit a woman's body daughter is a german based. Brand they've been in the backpacking industry for 110 years they have several. Lines of packs and what they pride. Themselves on is their air ventilation system their packs are equipped with. This lightweight mesh system that. According to the company keeps you from. Sweating it keeps your a cut your sweat down by about 25% now as i mentioned. It's important for a pack to fit you properly and there are two main areas. Where that's true. It's important that your pack fit in. Your shoulders and in your waist because that's where you're going to be carrying the weight now this is the sl meaning. That it is designed specifically for women's body so that's a number of. Different features the waist belt is smaller than say a man's pack to. Accommodate that women are oftentimes smaller you also have slimmer shoulder straps. And they carry in a different way and then you have a smaller wound mostly. Have smaller torsos and so the s outfits. Petite torso one of the things that i. Found that i like pack opposed to a lot of packs is i find that it's really easy to tighten it and. It's also really easy to reduce in so. Say you're layering you put on a coat and you need to loosen it a little bit you just kind of flip these back or you. Take off that jacket and you need to tighten it a little bit more it's able to do that there are a number of. Different features in this pack pockets. Galore which is what we always like to see on packs you've got this top pocket. Which is perfect for gear that you're. Gonna want to access quite frequently then if you flip it open you actually. Have this sos card which gives you important sos survival advice which is. Kind of cool you also have this interior. Pocket on the lid which is designed to. Keep your valuables safe so i often put things in here that i don't maybe want to access for the entire trip so keys my. Wallet my id anything like that. Now speaking of keys on the top lid the. Pack actually does come with a key chain that you can hook your keys to however i. Find that it's not something that i use very frequently which also pockets on. The side i can put ear in there you got. These mesh pockets that hold water one. On either side and this side it also has. That gear pocket now this is a older. Model so it does have this front pocket. Which is an available on some of the newer models however all the models. Have this bottom compartment. That they call the sleeping bag compartment now if you take that out you. Can see it's a separate compartment but you can also unzip it and it gives you access to the rest so you can use it away there's a number of attachments. That come with deuter packs you can get attachments to carry ice picks or. Trekking poles as well there's as well. These that you can attach carbines to. To carry other types beer with you. Whether it's your coffee mug or something on the top one thing that i. Tend to use this pack for is carry-on. And also it's a great overnight pack if you're staying in like a hut or a cabin. So I've assembled some gear to kind of give you an idea of how much this 34. Liter pack and pull so i do have its. Hydration bladder compatible so i. Already have my 3 liter hydration bladder in there the hose goes through. The top out the back and then you can. Clip it with this velcro and you can. Actually remove it and clip it to either side whatever is more comfortable for you do we have that in there already. You've got our sleeping bag in the bottom we're gonna throw in our thermos. Our jet boil. A pack of some extra layers you can see. It start to get a little bit tight. And finally every tooth throw in but a. Day and that's worth food so you can see. That is tight at 34 liters is all of. That but we do still have room in the bottom, so we have a number of options we could stuff more stuff under there, or we can unzip it, and we can make it one large compartment now we talked about. Our lid without easy access exterior. Pocket this i tend to put things like a. Gps in satellite communication device. And always twitter paper now of course. There would be other odds and ends that you would probably carry with you and there is still room in here you have. Some room in our side pockets as well definitely could put headlamps lighters. Things like that other snacks um but. It's starting to get a little bit full but you could definitely it's a great weekend bag now one of my favorite features of this pack is the rain cover. So say it starts to sprinkle a little bit outside you just unzip the bottom. Pull out the rain cover that's actually. Attached by a clip pull it. Over your pack it fits perfectly. And you are ready to go sprinkle stop. It's easy to take off one thing i really. Like is placement i like that it's at. The very bottom and i also really like. That it has a clip say you're doing a little bit of bushwhacking you're crawling with your branches or things on a rough trail it just touches and rips. Off which it had happened before it's. Still connected so it seems like you don't quite use it this often then you. Just back it back in the big shot. And you are good to go now as i. Mentioned i would say that this is the perfect pack for say a weekend trip if. You're staying in a cabin if you're staying in the hot it's perfect for day trips where you need a little bit of extra space it's not necessarily the. Perfect just day pack with friends. Because it is a little bit heavy at. Almost 4 pounds so you probably wouldn't want to carry that if you didn't need to however it was the very first pack that i owned and i used it exclusively for. About three years before picking up some. Other packs some smaller packs and some bigger packs and now i find that i use this exclusively for day trip activity. So berry picking or fishing are the. Primary uses that i use it for but i do. Enjoy the deuter brand i like the slim. Fit the sle for women i think it fits me. Very well and i have other women friends that it fits as well and i would. Definitely recommend and ain't your. Local store and trying it out. And seeing if it's the right back for you.

I'm jarred a--the daughter here the tahoe mountain sports talking about the future of pro 40 sl packs the future pro. Is slightly different from the future. Series so as you can see we're going to have taller packs bigger packs we still. Use the spring steel framework so it's. Going to allow for 25% less perspiration. By keeping the pack away from your back and letting a big airflow channel in there the spring steel is not like. Aluminum you're going to be able to and its shape to do whatever and it's always going to spring back to its original position like i said the future pro. Packs are going to be taller bigger, and they're going to come with what we call our very flex hip belt the great flex. Hip belt does is that pivots so you can. Either tighten it down and lock it in or you can loosen it up and have that pit bull it's really important to have that feature in our pro level packs when. You're skiing when you're hiking doing anything technical maybe climbing where you want your the bottom part of your body to work independently of your body. And you don't want the whole weight of that pack swing so that very flex tip. Belt is a really nice feature more. Substantial in the hip belt as well it's a bigger pack you're going to be carrying more weight we want lumbar support and then because we have the. Real estate on the hip belt we're actually giving you two front pockets along the hip belt as well so like i. Said a little bit of a different design here you're gonna have a top loading pack instead of the features which are panel loading still hydration. Compatible with the nice extendable collar you do have the. Separate compartment whether it's. Sleeping bag whether it's wet clothes whether it's bike stuff dirty clothes. Whatever you want to do you have that. Divided compartment with access back here but you can also zip out the compartment and make it one long tube if. That's your hiking style or your packing style we do have trekking pole loops and of. Course the deuter you have your rain cover so you're going to have rain integrated rain cover in the bottom of the pack it is attached but it is also removable so perfectly sized for this pack so that. You are you stay dry that is the future. Pro 40 sl I'm jared and you can check. These out at mountain sports.

Hey how's it going guys got another backpack review for you thank you so much young's backpacking for hosting this what you're looking at here is the deuter future 0 4 t sl first off let's. Start by saying that you can have the most expensive backpack in the world but if it doesn't fit right you're gonna be hating life just because the weights not gonna be distributed evenly it's gonna be uncomfortable and you're just not gonna want to wear the pack in the first place so what a bunch of female outdoor experts at dora did was they analyzed. Some differences between male and female anatomy, and they made packs that. Where specifically shaped for the female body normally for in terms of body shape. Men tend to have straight torsos whereas. Women tend to have a more hourglass. Shaped figure with wider hips and narrower shoulders and so this bag has. Been engineered to fit a woman's torso. Which tends to also be shorter hence the name as sells for a short. Length I'm just gonna go over some of the features of this bag and hopefully he'll give you an idea of whether you might want to get it for yourself or for your girlfriend or your wife so let's start first off just start with. The suspension here what you got here is a nice well padded waist belt i like the. Fact that it has a hip belt pocket the boy is pretty good about putting the hip belt pockets on their waist belts if you're gonna have a waist belt why not have a pocket it's great it's nice and sizable enough to stick change small items maybe a it's a little bit small. Too small for a phone but anything small that you want to get to without having to take off the pack so it's good give. You a look at the clasp at the front. Here. And you have nice padded shoulder straps. Not too thick but just enough to give it makes it comfortable and you have an adjustable sternum strap now for the sl. Version since it's a made for the female anatomy they put the shoulder straps. A little bit closer together then on the standard version just because women tend to have narrower shoulders and wider hips and the waist belt has been angled let's see if i can get the information card and give you a look at the picture. Here you'll notice here the white would. Be the standard version so the white outline so as you can see the waist belt for a standard version kind of goes out straight whereas here on the orange the. Waist belt for the sl version kind of tilts up and that's to make for the angular hip angle on a women's backpack. Also even though this is listed as being. Mostly for women hence this little flower here this comes off by the way this is also recommended also for men. Who have a short torso as well so don't think this is just for women if you're a guy and you have a short torso this will work out just fine just take out the flower I'll leave it doesn't matter. This also boosts the deuter air comfort. System i talked about it on my own back pack the deuter future 42 basically what. You have here is two aluminum stays i don't know if you can see it here these. Two stays that arch the back of the pack. Away from your body and then you have this mesh panel right here that your body rests against and this gives a nice little area right here for air to circulate so you're doing it you don't get sweaty back i was worried when i. First got my backpack that this mesh would rip or tear or break or whatever but actually after kicking around my bag for a good two years i haven't had any problems so i trust it now so it's pretty good and the aluminum. Stays they're flexible they're strong, but they're flexible, so they can bend so really durable system so don't worry that you're getting a bag that's gonna be comfortable but fall apart later this system has lasted me really. Well go into the side there are two. Compression straps you have a bottom compression strap and a top compression strap which you can also undo the top one with a clasp like so. The bottom one is fixed and then you. Have side mesh pocket on the other side as well it's elastic and it's pretty durable this mesh material you should. Look at the other side here like so going to the back of the panel back of. The bag there's a top loading design so. You undo these two clasp you take the top off basically what top loader design. Is its just a main sack with a lid on. Top before i go to the main compartment let me just talk about the lid you have. A back access pocket for the live light here on the back and then when you open. Up the lid on the underneath side you. Have another access pocket right here. Going to the front of the bag you have. An elastic mesh pocket which you can also tighten with the top compression strap right here so in terms of storage. Space i think you could stick a helmet. Here but it's gonna be kind of tight fit would have like this to be a little bit stretch here and a little bit more expansive for this mesh pocket just so i could stick in a lot of your helmet but for a bike helmet or anything around that size no problem whatsoever you can also stick like so you take off your mid layer your fleece you could just jam it in here without having to undo and get to the main part of the compartment of the pack going into the interior pocket oh by the. Way i love the fact that it's using these bright colors it makes it easier for you to find your gear if you have a. Black kind of interior it makes it harder to find here but with this bright color any times you put inside are gonna stand out and i love that going into the interior of the bag you'll notice you. Have a velcro loop attachment for attaching stuff and you have this inner. Back pocket for sticking a hydration bladder this bag is hydration compatible and if you look here on the sides you have a hole on one side here for the loop to go out and on the other side so you can have the hydration bladder going either from your left and right side without the loop hitting the back of your head i really like that it's a nice touch and just. Give you a look here that's basically it for the main compartment let me just. Close this guy up that's about it pretty. Simple design a fair number of pockets. For powder storage and interior storage. Some gear separation in the lid and a very ergonomic design for a different. Frame sizes if you're of a shorter frame. Size or if you are a woman and just want. Something that fits the contours of your body so it's my little overview of the. Deuter future 0 40 sl thanks for watching guys and have a great day.

Hey guys tamir this is my daughter for. Tara pro 38 liter packs I've had this. Think for about a year now and i really liked it i figured it's about time i did a review on it i remember. When i bought it the only review i could find was in german but it got me a good. Look at what the pack had to offer so i. Figured I'd put a decent English one. Up there in case anyone else is looking at any of the smaller dotter packs. I don't think rei actually carries the. 38 anymore i got it online when i lived. In indiana so i couldn't go to the store well last time i went i believe i saw. 3432 it was red so I'm not sure if this. One's even still around but i like it a. Lot so I'm just going to show you guys really quickly a couple features on it is a top loading pack so i opened up. Here and expanse quite a bit very good. Amount for a pack this size gives you a. Lot more room to put stuff the top. Compartment does not come off but it. Does fit nicely over even if it's completely full it has a pocket on the. Inside works really well and as well as. On the back it's got a nice pocket here. Too. Having trouble with the zippers no yes the same time on the side here each side. Does have a side pocket that is fairly. Sizable i can fit a pair of flip-flops or something in their pretty easily i put a lot of miscellaneous things on the side pocket and like i said each side. Does have a side pocket. Once again these zippers work perfectly fine I'm just being a noob with my. Camera in my hands instead of on a tripod it's got a lot of different areas. Where you can attach carbines i got a. Whistle there i tied my bandana up here. Great for a sweat rag sweaty guy like me. And a bunch of loops just to put. Then anywhere gives you space to hold. Extra things which i like a lot like. They have a lot of stuff on the outside of my pack down here you can access the. Included rain cover with this nice blue. Bad boy that fits very well onto the pack I've only had to use it once sort of work just fine when i used it. Though it was a light rain so i can't attest to that too much. The last pocket of note is here it's a. Math pocket and it's really a map pack and it can't hold too much because it goes back fairly far there but i. Usually just keep my maps in there as. Well as a compass down on the bottom you. Do have our sleeping bag compartment. And that opens up and right now i have it going completely through the entire. Pack so the solution back apartment does. This is what it looks like zip. Even when exhibits very sizable in this. I can fit my mic open sleeping bag ather. Mraz pro light sleeping mat my cocoon pillow as well as a pretty big hammock i. Got from dick's it's not not anything too fancy pretty heavy but i can fit all. Four of those in there which is very nice. Do a couple loops down here as well good. For holding ice picks trekking poles anything like that we have our side compression straps as. Well as the elastic water bottle holders. On the side water can go in through. There. Though there is not one on the other. Side i think there would be that's one. Think that's a little bit annoying about it but that's not a huge deal the thing. That really attracted me to this pack was the air comfort very flexes that deuter has put here the hip belt it's. Slightly mobile it boasts that it moves. From side to side but it really doesn't do a lot but it's enough to. Kind of go with you on the trail a. Little bit but nothing really to brag about it is very comfortable there are. No side pockets on this which is one. Think that i wish they did have and they. Don't have any really good way to secure. Your straps my wife has a Gregory. Jade and her straps can tuck right and. She's got the nice side pockets such as me music but the system on the back. Really does allow for air to get in here. Very well very comfortable light. Back i can wear it and like i said. Earlier I'm a sweaty dude hits a that's a bandana but my back does not sweat. Because i get so much air coming in through the back here overall it's a. Very good pack i like it a lot for. Night weekend short weekend hikes things. Like that i can fit a lot in this bad boy this seams are strong no complaints. About it so far.

So the new guide like 32 plus in a drink. / guides we have robust fabric side. Zippers adjustable ski loose and you. No daisy changing the mainly was decides the purpose of water when you go to this right here you get rid of the baby zippers lose the side access and go. To lighter without age fabric lighter weight bottom still has a modern i sex attachment loop on there but the ice this attachments are not adjusted just I've just finished go back all the attention there is to produce the pain /. Back.

Hi it's peter again I'm here to talk. About a variety of different mountaineering boots that we use in the field I'll start over here on my right with the uninsulated single boot kind of. Rock climbing summer mountaineering oriented we're going to see this boot on the matterhorn and the eiger in europe. And on the 13-day course and the cascades moving up in insulation is. Another single boot but this one is. Insulated we use this on all over the. Cascades and on mount rainier in mid summer and you'll also see this on mont. Blanc in europe next step up in. Installation is our double plastic boot even more insulated with the removable. Liner you're going to see this on mount. Rainier and in the cascades for the bulk of the season early and late especially when it's colder you're going to see this on mexican volcanoes and Ecuador this type of boot is very versatile one. More step up in installation is a high-altitude double boot here a little bit more streamlined lighter weight package and a even further warmer liner. Compared to this for higher altitude. Expeditions this is going to be really appropriate for Aconcagua and especially Denali trips finally on my left is the. 8,000 meter boot you're going to see. This in antarctica on mount everest any. Other 8,000 meter peak and a lot of people are starting to use boots like this on Denali expeditions as well for. Extra warmth.

Post and these are Oslo's tighten mountaineering boots now these are serious boots for sure-footed pursuits on glaciated Peaks and alpine ascents these high-performance boots include a waterproof breathable gore-tex membrane
