{"reviews":[{"id":6580700,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Bought 4 packs, 3 failed","text":"I purchased (3) J53s. The J53 is a great pack for comfort, fit, balance. However, after 2 uses and 4 years storage inside a climate controlled home, the inside material began delaminating, releasing sticky debris all over everything. It is impossible to get it all off after hours of cleaning. I contacted Gregory, and they said that is not covered under warranty. I also bought a Gregory Baltoro 65 at the same time, same use, same storage. No issues. They used a different material on this pack. The J53s use inferior, cheap materials and Gregory took the stance to say that it was a storage issue, and/or the effective life expectancy of the material. They will basically blame the consumer for their cost savings/cheap material choice. I was hoping they would make it right, but no joy other than a 50% off coupon to rebuy all new packs at MRSP from their website. Very expensive ordeal to have to do again even with the discount. I bought 4 packs, 4 years ago and now have to buy 3 more all over again. Very disappointed in what I thought was a solid company/manufacturer. \n\nVery disappointed in what I thought was a solid company/manufacturer who would stand behind their products. Everyone makes mistakes in business choices (ex - material selection). I would expect the company to learn from this and then take care of the customer if they want that consumer, their kids, grandkids, friends, etc to be future Gregory patrons.","textLength":1443,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Mike B","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Texas","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-05-03T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"gregorypacks.com","siteUrl":"https://www.gregorypacks.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2099_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"135276-145297","title":"Women's Gregory Mountain Jade 53 Backpacking Backpack","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/135276-145297","category":"accessories-backpacks","reviewCount":5,"ratingCount":5,"averageRating":3.6,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":1,"2":1,"3":0,"4":0,"5":3},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":4653737,"locale":"en_US","rating":2,"title":"Needs work","text":"Overall, the Gregory Jade is a durable pack. But, after hiking the 350-mile Pinhoti Trail, I'm going to look for a lighter pack. A couple of days before I left, the grap strap broke and I had to take it to a shoe repair shop to get it sewn back on. Then, while I was on trail, the chest strap broke off of the sliding ridge and I had to use paracord to tie it to the shoulder strap. And, even after 4 weeks of hiking, my back and shoulders were sore from the 25-ish pound pack weight. It could also benefit from larger hip belt pockets and a much larger back pocket.","textLength":566,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"L'il Bo Peep","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Lincoln, NE","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-05-01T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"gregorypacks.com","siteUrl":"https://www.gregorypacks.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2099_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"135276-145297","title":"Women's Gregory Mountain Jade 53 Backpacking Backpack","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/135276-145297","category":"accessories-backpacks","reviewCount":5,"ratingCount":5,"averageRating":3.6,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":1,"2":1,"3":0,"4":0,"5":3},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":4242157,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Love this pack!","text":"I have had the same pack for over 20 years, so when I slipped this new beaut on I felt a bit like cheating, but those feelings quickly went away.
