Versatile 35 litre pack for long day hikes and short overnight trips. Lots of adjustability and comfort features including the free floating lower back system.
Gregory says:
The Maven feature an innovative hybrid suspension system that cleverly combines a free floating lower back system with a breathable on-the-back upper back padding system. This unique approach captures the best of both worlds - a super comfy lower back Comfort Cradle system with Gregory’s Patent Pending FreeFloat hipbelt tech and a close fitting upper backpanel that saves energy by keeping the bulk of the pack weight close against your back. With a fully loaded but lightweight focused feature set, including full length side-loading access, the Maven will make your next few days on the trail a dream come true.
When it’s time to escape, the Maven 35 makes shortwork of long approaches to distant campsites. Convnient side U-zippered access keep you organized and the adjustable, dynamic Freefloat suspension provides a breathable, custom fit.
Our Verdict
This Gregory Maven 35 is a very versatile rucksack. The back length adjuster helps ensuring a good fit, along with the shoulder adjustment, chest and waist belts. The internal frame and padded back make it very comfortable to wear and the free float back system helps with air flow. The multitude of internal and external pockets keep valuables safe and drink bottles accessible. There is an internal sleeve for a hydration bladder and front clip to secure a drinking straw. Loops and clips secure items externally and a detachable rain cover is included for when the weather is inclement.
