Hi all,

I am about to make a purchase between these bags. I have read extensively about them and am leaning towards the Gregory. My friend that owns several packs thinks I should go with an Osprey. I have had a hard time finding material with a direct comparison between them. I am looking for a weekend ultralight hiking pack. Mainly just trails, but occasionally off-trail woods. I'm sure the 2563 cu in will be enough for me since what I was used to was my 1500 cu in ILBE assault pack, albeit was stuffed to the brim with gear attached to the exterior MOLLE. I had to return the ILBE after finally moving to the civilian world and now need a pack. Any thoughts on either pack or perhaps a third suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.
