Gear Hub: Gregory Rhune 22 Pack
Every day, we have so many things to keep track of — chargers, laptops, headphones, keys, a spare set of clothes for the gym. The Gregory Rhune 22 is the perfect commuter backpack, the ideal carry-on and my first pick for an overnight trip.
The Gregory Rhune 22 is fully equipped with padded shoulder pads (perfectly contoured for a secured fit), an AirCushion foamless back panel for maximum breathability, a harness pocket to always keep track of your chapstick or earbuds, a padded laptop sleeve, a water bottle pocket and loops at the bottom of the bag to attach climbing or running shoes.
If I’m headed to the mountains for the weekend or to the desert for a quick trip, I always reach for this pack. I can comfortably fit my laptop, chargers, planner, toiletry bag and enough clothes for two days with a little room left for a few snacks or gear for my dog.
As a total gear nerd, I have a few recommendations on items to bring along on your spring break or weekend excursion; the Arc'teryx Cerium SV Hoody is a great option to add a versatile and warm layer. This puffy is stuffed with 1000 fill-power grey goose down to keep you warm while staying incredibly light. This jacket even packs down into its own pocket for easy storing. LIVSN is a great brand for multi-use and high quality pants. I’m a big fan of their Trail Tights but if you’re looking for a more polished look the Flex Canvas Pants are a good option. When packing for a trip, I try my best to include items that have lots of versatility so I can pack less!
I brought this backpack as a carry on for my two-week trip to Italy. I packed it to the brim and carried it through the streets of Venice and up the mountains surrounding Lake Como with ease. Though this backpack doesn’t have a waist belt, it distributes weight evenly and doesn’t put massive stress on your shoulders, even if you pack it to absolute capacity.
If you’re a daily commuter, student, traveler or find that you just need a sleek, no-fuss bag that keeps everything in order — the Gregory Rhune 22 is the right choice for you.
