Gregory Citro 24 H2O

★4.5(86 reviews)

The Citro is Gregory's hydration day pack and ships with a 3 L reservoir included. At 2.0 lb it is lighter than Osprey's equivalent Manta 24 by well over a pound, and $30 cheaper, while bundling a larger bladder.

  • ✓$180 is $30 less than the Manta 24 despite the larger reservoir.
  • ✓210D honeycomb CryptoRip nylon resists tear propagation better than plain weaves of the same denier.
  • ✓Ventilated suspended panel keeps airflow behind a pack that is often worn on hot days.
  • ✓Hipbelt pockets included.
  • ✓The women's Juno 24 is the direct counterpart at a lower price still.

  • ✗210D is lighter-duty than the 400D ripstop on the Zulu 24 LT at the same price.
  • ✗gregory.com blocks automated access, so pricing rests on a single gear-media source.
  • ✗Bear-canister fit is not stated and is irrelevant at this size.

The Zulu LT is the lightened version of Gregory's ventilated day pack, using the VaporSpan suspended panel that holds the pack off the back. At 2.3 lb for 24 L it trades some weight for airflow, which is the same bargain Osprey's Stratos makes at a similar price.
