 Technically this would fall into the "Gear" category and at the moment I dont have one so its going under the "Gadgets" area. Today I purchased an Ekko backpack by Gregory, from the REI store in Bloomington. I used my dividend and also recieved a 20% discount since I used the dividend before April 3rd. :-) Im extremely happy with my new backpack!! I put a good 8-10 hours into researching this backpack purchase. I would say half of that time was spent in the store trying out a wide variety of packs. It sounds like a big chunk of time to invest but when you are going to be hauling around a full pack on for hours on end you really need to like the piece of gear you are buying.

 I really like the Gregory packs. I find they fit my build extremely well. I might be a little biased as I already own the Gregory Shasta. The Shasta has over twice the capacity of the Ekko and works great for longer trips, however i needed something a little smaller for day hikes and the like. The Ekko fit the bill nicely.
If you are looking for a good backpack I can certainly vouch for the Gregory line of products. If you cant find a Gregory pack that fits your needs check out Kelty, Black Diamond, Osprey, or The North Face. |
