Gregory Jade 50 Women's (2009) Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! Striking a balance between weight and durability, the high-performance Gregory Jade 50 Women's pack employs lightweight, high-tenacity fabrics and an innovative, streamlined suspension system to provide a women's specific pack equipped with load carrying capability without the bulk and burden of a full-blown expedition pack.

Sleek enough for adventure racing, the Jade 50 Women's pack has the ability to carry up to 40 lbs. of gear, making it versatile enough for ultra-lightweight weekend or multi-day backpacking trips. The standard capacity of the medium-sized Jade 50 Women's pack is 3350 cubic inches.

Acknowledging the different wants and needs of male and female hikers, the backpacks of Gregory's Women's Series cater to the woman on the go. Designed and tested by women, these packs incorporate shoulder harnesses contoured to fit the female figure and waistbelt panels built to adjust to fit women's hip angles. Reflecting the difference in male and female ergonomics, the packs of the Women's Series also employ narrower backpanels.

Having spent numerous years and countless miles out on the trail, the designers at Gregory are well aware of the problems that arise from ill-fitting backpacks. Unwilling to compromise comfort or load-carrying capability, Gregory's commitment to providing the perfect fit is evident in the technology used in their harness and JetStream suspension systems. A single lightweight, hollow stay and a molded and perforated V-beam framesheet work in tandem to support the stability of the Jade 50 Women's pack by distributing weight evenly and transferring the load to your hips. The ventilated moisture wicking harnesses, waistbelt and backpanel enhance fit, aid in load transfer, provide cushioning and keep you cool on the trail. A sternum strap and load-lifter straps further enhance the fit of the Jade 50 Women's pack and ensure the stability of your load, allowing convenient adjustment while on the trail.

The single main compartment of the Jade 50 Women's pack has an extendible drawstring-closed top entry and a zippered entry allows full side access to the pack body. A large zippered front pocket provides a secure place to secure additional gear and a huge "bucket" pocket with mesh sides offers convenient storage for gear or wet clothes. The extendible lid of the Jade 50 Women's pack includes an integrated stowaway pocket. Expandable dual side accessory and water bottle pockets provide additional storage space for clothes and gear. All of the zippers used on the Jade 50 Women's pack are designed to be weather resistant.

The Jade 50 Women's pack also includes side compression straps, quick-access waistbelt pockets and gear loops. An integrated sleeve and exit port make the Jade 50 Women's pack hydration compatible.

Made of durable 210D HT "double box" rip-stop nylon fabric, the Gregory Jade 50 Women's pack is available in your choice of Scarlet, Sapphire Blue or Himalayan Green color options. The Jade 50 Women's pack is available in XS, S and M size options.
