Review: Excellent daypack with hydration, internal frame and hip belt. - Backpack review Osprey Manta 24 vs Gregory Citro 24 I narrowed my decision for a daypack with frame and hip-belt with pockets down to these two packs, based on high reviews for both. Manta kudos: has a better back trampoline, pack fully separate from the back. Trekking pole stash while wearing. Built-in rain cover. Adjustable shoulder strap height. Citro kudos: smaller, looks less “over the top”; shoulder straps were more comfortable; more subdivision for storage; larger stretch pocket; easier zippers on waist belt pockets. Equal: side mesh pockets accessible with pack on; both are comfortable, both sit on hips well and take pack weight off shoulders. Both good packs, but kept the Citro. Mainly for trimmer size and better pockets (I prefer multiple pockets, the Manta design was more about one large central storage area). I didn’t prefer (but wasn’t totally against) the Manta’s sideways-entry back panel pocket. The Manta shoulder straps were slightly chafing my shoulders on test loads, so it concerned me that might amplify on actual hikes. I also heard some intermittent squeaking from the Manta on test loads walked around my small house. I really liked the Citro’s pocket setup, lots of areas to subdivide gear, the main storage area had a small separate zippered pouch up top. The main storage is plenty big, but the Manta was bigger. The Manta had smaller and less of the various outer pockets. The back stretch pocket was noticeable smaller than on the Citro. If you don’t like lots of sections and pockets, you won’t want the Citro. I didn’t get a chance to try the water reservoir in the Manta, since I returned it, but even just the connection system for the hanger was easier on the Citro. The Citro mouthpiece worked great, but wasn’t anything special. It looked like the same mouthpiece on the Manta. The reservoir is very easy to access, attach/remove, and fill. I also like that the tube disconnect was up top, unlike my old Camelbak. Both seemed to use the same or similar sternum strap connector, it was minimalist and magnetic (but also had hooks to keep it attached). It can be connected and disconnected one-handed. It worked great on the Citro. The mouth piece stays magnetically attached just fine. And there is also a strap storage hook for the tube when not wearing the pack. The Citro overall felt more like a souped-up day pack, while the Manta seemed more like a toned down backpacking pack. I’m not sure if they both had the same storage volume of 24 liters, but the Manta just looked bigger. It was visibly bigger just sitting next to the Citro. Maybe the Citro was more about the multiple pockets for the volume, while the Manta was more about “one big pocket” design which made the pack need to be larger. And the better back trampoline support in the Manta may have also been a factor. Might have just made it appear larger. I don’t think you could go wrong with either pack. I preferred the multiple smaller pockets approach of the Citro, along with the trimmer profile, the easier to access and unzip waist belt pockets, and the well-engineered water reservoir system. I have to also note that upgrading to a pack with a frame and a hip belt was a worthy investment for my hikes. It’s night and day as far as hauling my gear compared to the Camelbak MULE I am upgrading from. I’ve been using the Citro on multiple extended day hikes, and have been very pleased with the choice and the purchase. I have no regrets, and find that Gregory has put a lot of thought into all the details of this pack.
Review: Very comfortable pack - This is a very good pack. I had been wanting the Osprey Manta 34 for a long time but chose this Citro 30L because it was $50 cheaper. The Manta went on sale for only $10 more ($165) soon after this one arrived so I ordered one and compared them side by side, putting the same amount of gear in each. Results: What I don’t like about the Citro is the extra pockets are very small. Too small to fit a sandwich in. The one on the outside is big enough for a first aid pouch and a couple granola bars, and the one on the inside is about the same. Not at all a deal breaker but I do like more options to keep things organized. In the main part I could fit my tent, light sleeping bag, camp cookware (little bigger than a softball), 1 change of clothes, and a small book. Maybe one or two other small items. On the Manta, because of the larger exterior pocket, the main compartment held a little less than the Citro. But I would still prefer this because the extra pocket on the Manta is roomy when the main compartment is not stuffed full and it has smaller pockets within which will come in handy. The compression straps are far better on the Citro. Better placement and I like that the bottom one does a zigzag to cover more area. The Manta’s straps aren’t completely useless but they are so close to the top and bottom of the pack that they don’t do much good. I had trouble getting them to hold my tent in place on the outside of the pack because they are so far apart from each other. I’ve seen lots of complaints about people unable to use the hip belt pockets while wearing the Manta. I had no issues at all. Do some stretches guys. The Citro hip belt pockets are fine too, just smaller. My iPhone14 Pro fit in it but just barely could get the zipper closed. The Manta was set up perfectly when it arrived so I didn’t need to adjust the torso length but it’s a nice option that the Citro doesn’t have. With that being said, the Citro fit fine as well. Almost too short for me but it worked and I did all kinds of household chores while wearing it during my test. I’m 6’2”, torso about 20.5”. Other perks the Manta has that the Citro doesn’t are included rain cover and H2O reservoir. Conclusion: Both packs are very comfortable to wear and I could do all of my chores with each. I went on a short hike with the Citro and loved it. Had the Manta not gone on sale when it did I never would have compared the two because the Citro was totally adequate for my needs. But at only $10 more I’m much happier with the Manta. Ps. I haven’t noticed the notorious Osprey squeak while testing the Manta. That might downgrade my opinion if it develops but I would probably still keep the Manta over the Citro.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great pack - comfortable to wear and holds a lot.
*by B***D on March 16, 2024*

I used this pack for a vacation trip as my airplane carry-on. It holds all the things I might need for a lot of time flying and being in airports. Items I typically carry are headphones, food, raincoat or light jacket, chargers, papers, medicine, etc. I think if needed this would hold enough for a short trip - one or two days of clothing and toiletries. It seems very well made with convenient pockets, including two on the waist band that will hold a food bar. I also strapped a sweatshirt to the outside using one of the side straps and it stayed in place through airports and in the overhead bin.
