Gregory Deva 60 vs. 7 Top Hiking Packs in Canada: Which One Reigns Supreme in 2025?

“The Osprey Aura 65 is one of the most adjustable backpacks we've ever tested. The Aura fits many body types, offers premium comfort features, and offers classic organizational systems.”

“With their unique, super comfortable harness and suspension, comfort with 45 pounds or more, and numerous backpacker-friendly features, the Osprey men’s Atmos AG 65 and women’s Aura AG 65 rank among the very best packs out there today for moderate to big loads.”

“The Atmos AG 65L (male version) and Aura AG 65L (female version) by Osprey are THE BEST all-around backpacks.”

“With weight in the pack, the load is carried cleanly through the hips, taking pressure off the shoulders. On longer days, especially when the pack is properly full, that balance makes a real difference. It feels stable and predictable, even when the trail gets uneven.”

“Price: $370Weight: 4 lbs. 7.0 oz. (women's small)Fabric: Nylon (100D x 630D)Capacities: 50, 65LWhat we like: Excellent ventilation and support, great organization, and highly durable.What we don’t: Hipbelt can cause discomfort and no zippered access to the main...”

“Backpanel airflow: It keeps ventilation going between the pack and your back. On warmer days, there is far less sweat buildup than in packs without this mesh design.”

“The pack is with the Osprey’s famous Stow-on-the-Go attachment system for trekking poles. This is something you really need when you are on the move, to take a photo or to drink and eat, so you can store the poles without stopping and have your hands free.”

“Osprey gives a lifetime guarantee to every one of their packs and although I haven’t had a chance to test it out just yet, from features like the tough, reinforced zippers and incredibly padded shoulder straps, it doesn’t seem like much on the pack is going to come loose or...”

“At just a few ounces over three pounds, with the support and comfort to carry more than 40 pounds, and a smart design that allows it to carry any size load well, the Granite Gear Blaze 60 has emerged as a leading all-purpose, quiver-of-one pack for trips of any length.”

“The Blaze 60 is a well-priced backpack that's lightweight and comfortable, even when you're carrying lots of gear. Not only is it a solid workhorse of a bag, but it also has a great set of functional features.”

“This isn't about the lightest pack on the shelf, it's about the quietest carry on trail. When your breathing stays steady and your ankles track true on scree slopes, you've found objective fit. That's the only metric that matters when fatigue hits mile 12 at 35lb.”

“The pack has a long stretch pocket on the front which is great for a wet tent or wet waterproofs. The side pockets aren’t stretchy but they are roomy and have stretch drawcord closures. The lid pocket is roomy too and the lid can be detached.”

“Price: $300Weight: 3 lbs. (women's regular)Fabric: Robic nylon (100D & 210D)Capacity: 60LWhat we like: Excellent mix of carrying comfort, organization, and weight.What we don’t: Limited back ventilation; takes time to dial in the fit.See the Women's Granite Gear Blaze 60 See...”

“Choosing the right pack requires balancing these technical specs with your personal hiking style. While the Granite Gear Blaze 60L Backpack is an excellent choice, it’s always wise to see how it stacks up against the competition.”

“This is not my first rodeo with Granite Gear and their amazing products. In fact I have already professed my love for the older version of the Blaze 60 in a past review found here: http://ireviewgear.com/backpacks/granitegear-blaze-a-c-60-backpack-review/”

“After several months of use, including a week-long trip on the Teton Crest Trail, the Granite Gear Blaze 60 Backpack – Men’s continues to impress. I’ve bushwhacked through thickets, scraped against granite walls, and endured a few unexpected downpours.”

“Deep front pocket for wet gear, tent poles, etc.”

“The Blaze 60 has three tiers of compression straps on both sides of the pack. These can be used to reduce pack volume when you are carrying smaller or lighter loads. All three of the side webbing straps open and close with side release buckles, which you squeeze together to open.”

“Past competitors have proven that low pack weights often correlate to lackluster load support or short lifespans. The Blaze upends such conventions, maximizing efficiency on trail without compromise. Off route, its compact profile packs conveniently into any vehicle or storage.”

“It is fairly easy to adjust the torso size, and the inches are clearly marked to make it easier to get the right size. To change the torso length, there is a flat metal plate on the end of the shoulder strap at the top. This slides through the openings in the frame sheet.”
