Product description
The Women's Kalmia 60 from Gregory is made for longer adventures that require lots of gear. In addition to its innovative design, it’s also super functional and comfortable. It features back and shoulder pads made of a special mesh fabric that’ll quickly release moisture away to the outside. In addition, the backpack is equipped with a snug carrying system to ensure it remains firm on your back, yet it allows lots of freedom of movement. Another great feature includes the numerous compartments and attachment options that provide you with lots of space to organize your valuables. In addition to the main compartment and the sleeping bag compartment, you’ll find numerous small pockets and compartments that offer space for your smaller essentials. Plus, the backpack is compatible with most commercially available hydration systems, and you can also place your regular water bottle on the special waist belt holder.

I really like this rucksack though it would be even better if a bit lighter. Previously only tried "ultra light" bags but decided I did want the extra features and didn't feel too heavy when wearing. It's so far proved to be more comfortable than my previous bag.
So far only tested it out on walks (fully loaded). It's easy to adjust and comfortable. Nice to have the ventilated back, hip belt pockets are a good size, loads of pockets for organisation. Like the side zip to the main compartment. Water bottle holder good though bottle can fall out of leaning over but can be solved with carabiners. Other side pocket ok but not as spacious as some.
Like with all rucksacks, the left over straps are annoying - would be nice to be able to tuck them away or something.
The free float system for hips and shoulder straps is great! And it even comes with a rain cover. Also feels like it's made the last
Pleased to discover Gregory. Not a brand well known in the UK but their bags are good quality & well designed
