Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Gregory G Pack gets a complete update for 2005. This minimalist pack is lightweight, streamlined and delivers only the essentials. Designed for the backpackers who know how to pack, and look to carry loads up to 30 pounds, the G Pack is a solid, comfortable bag. The Exo Frame and Wraptor stabilizer ensure a smooth ride. A padded back with removable stay and framesheet saves 9oz. A supportive Gullwing waist-belt carries extremely comfortably."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Winner of Backpacker Magazine's 2005 Editor's Choice Award, the Gregory G Pack cuts significant weight without compromising comfort. The innovative design incorporates side Wraptor Stabilizer straps that pull the pack to the lumbar, and a stiff contoured Internal Thermoformed Exo.Frame sheet that follows the body with torsional flexibility. This structure is then enhances with a chimney backpanel to maintains volumes of ventilation. A superlight weekender, this midsize backpack carries effortlessly moderate loads up to 35 pounds with all day comfort. The top loading silicone injected packbag opens wide to store a well-considered lightweight gear list for fast pace weekend adventures. Large front and side mesh pockets, mesh waistbelt pockets, and hydration sleeve with port, keep things well organized for quick access. When venturing far off the beaten path, dual ice axe loops with keepers give carrying versatility. As Backpacker says, no other sub-3 pound weekender can carry moderate loads as snugly with such efficient load transfer as the Gregory G Pack ."

"The g-pack has done well for me. I typically run 25-30 lbs in it and it carries real well. It's perfect for light overnight/weekend trips. The outside mesh is nice for clothing that you want to put on or off quickly or rain covers/jacket that you may need to dry."

"I had high hopes for this pack on 3-4 day trips. I lifted it up by the shoulder strap with approximately 20 lbs. — it tore! Gregory claims you should never lift a backpack in this manner. My fault. Give me a break. It's crap. Probably from China. You can do better."

"I love my Gregory G-pack. It's only for the ultra-light hikers, so keep it under 25 lbs, or I hear the pack doesn't hold up well.

It's got a water reservoir pocket, so you can stick your CamelBak reservoir in there and keep hydrated while you hike (I used this for a multi-week trip to Wales."

"Extremely comfortable lightweight pack that seems to get mixed reviews. Just realize that it's designed to carry about 20-25 lbs.

If you overpack (above 25 lbs), I rate this pack 4 stars because the hip belt seems to reach its limit around 30 lbs, and the seams start visibly stretching when overstuffed."

"Used this pack once, it fell apart. I'm still waiting to see what Gregory does, but three days into a five-day trip in the High Sierra the framesheet had abraded a hole in the bottom. The stay actually portruded out the bottom of the pack. The frame sheet appeared to be in upside down so it may be a fluke defect but overall the pack was fairly shreded by the end of the trip."

"This is a review of many packs. Ultimately I did not choose the Gregory G Pack.

I was taking a 17-day trip to Europe and my only luggage was one backpack. I compared the following backpacks:
'06 REI UL30,
'06 REI Catalyst 35L,
'06 REI UL45,
'05 Kelty Redwing 3100,
'06 Gregory Z Pack,
'06 Gregory G Pack,
'06 Osprey Atmos 50,
'06 Osprey Atmos 35

Testing:
First off I recommend REI for backpacks."

G Pack ('05 Model)
Reviewed by SloHiker, Feb 16, 2006

"The new 05/06 version seems significantly more durable than previous years' models (identified by the blue colored G-35 fabric) with the new G-70 fabric. Pre-2005 models drew a lot of criticism for being somewhat fragile. I wouldn't make a habit of scraping this pack against rocks or sliding through slot canyons, but for normal "trail" use, mine has held up just fine."

G Pack (ultralight)
Reviewed by Leo In St. Louis, Mar 31, 2003

"This is my first ultralight backpack as I have just recently reduced my total pack volume to where my gear can fit in a much smaller space. I would not suggest this pack for first time backpacking as it's probably not durable enough for a beginner's abuse nor big enough to carry the clunky gear a new packer is likely to be using."
