Looking at picking up a small pack - gregory /osprey

Just wondering if any of you have either of these or something this size and comments you may have.

I was looking at this gregory pack from REI-Outlet.

I also really like osprey packs - I have one for work (one of the larger ones). But, it's the price is quite a bit more.

I traveled around the world with my osprey. 15 years later I'm still using it all the time although it's def a bit worse for the wear now, probably time to retire it.

Either would suffice for a resort pack if you just need to carry snacks and a layer. That osprey looks more durable. And it has ski carry straps. The Gregory looks more like a lightweight day hike pack. It would probably get shredded by ski edges if you tried to lash them to the pack.

Def go with the Osprey. I've also traveled the world with mine. 10 years, 40 countries the durability on those packs is insane.

The 50 dollar difference is nothing when you are talking about years and years of use.
