Gregory Unisex Icarus 30 Youth Backpack – Capri Green
On the hunt for a lightweight backpack that feels like it was made just for you? The Gregory Icarus 30 is a cracking choice. It sits snugly against your back, much like your favourite tee, making those long treks a whole lot easier on your shoulders. Thanks to Gregory’s clever Versa Fit suspension system, which you can fully adjust, it moulds perfectly to your shape. And with its wraparound padded hip belt, the weight shifts nicely onto your hips – a real game-changer when you’re lugging a fair bit of kit.
Smart Storage That Keeps Things Simple
One of the standout features is the dedicated lower compartment. It’s spot-on for stashing your sleeping bag or extra layers so you don’t have to faff around digging through your main pack when you stop for the night or if the weather takes a turn. Up front, there’s a stretchy mesh pocket – ideal for chucking in a rain jacket or even your sandals, perfect if your feet need a breather after a day on the trails.
Practical Pockets and Thoughtful Design
The top section comes with dual pockets, which are a godsend for sorting out your headlamp or snacks without having to rummage about. And the dual mesh side pockets make grabbing a water bottle quick and easy, so you can stay hydrated on the move.
If you’re pondering sizing, Gregory suggests measuring your torso to nail the perfect fit. It’s a unisex pack, so everyone gets the same comfy experience. When you try it on, best to load it up with around 10 to 20 pounds – that way, you’ll see if it sits just right, about 2.5cm above your iliac crest as it should.
Crafted with Care for Both You and the Planet
Gregory has been at the forefront of backpack design since 1977, creating packs that feel less like gear and more like a trusty companion on your adventures. Plus, they’re serious about sustainability, making their products with an eye on protecting the great outdoors. So when you’re carrying the Icarus 30, you’re not just hauling your kit – you’re carrying a bit of care for the world you’re exploring.
All in all, the Icarus 30 is a top-notch pick for young hikers and backpackers who want a reliable, comfy pack that won’t let them down on the trail. It’s practical, thoughtfully designed, and built to fit – just what you need when you’re out there making memories.
