While addicted to my Gregory Reality, I was unable to do longer trips (3+ days) conveniently with it. From what I can see, the Lassen is just a bigger Reality: same top-loading and front-loading capability, nice suspension. On both there is a web divider with a huge easy-to-operate zipper that allows you to see the contents of the main compartment vertically, provides easy access to contents and serves as separation between a large external pocket and the main compartment. My assessment of the Lassen is that it is exactly what it appears to be, a bigger Reality. Gregory has successfully captured the tremendous fit and comfort of the Reality in this mid-size bag. I give it high marks.
