New Rucksack

My new bag for my travels next year, a 38L Gregory Jade. After a large amount of research this was what I settled on because of the size, features for hiking, colour and the front opening option. I'd never heard of Gregory before but they are a big brand in North America. This replaces my extremely worn out 35L rucksack that I've been using for about 2 years. The zip of the top pocket broke as I was coming to Canada but I continued to use it until the mesh water bottle pockets started giving up on my trip to Seattle. These two posts will be followed by posts on my blog sometime in the near future.
