Baltoro

Much regret was caused by a heavy Eberlestock backpack. I loved the pockets and organization, but it was nearly 10 pounds when empty and it didn't fit me. I sold it at a loss, but enough to buy a Gregory Baltoro that is amazing, never giving it up.

This is sort of an irrelevant reply (apologies) because im about to compare 2 packs youve not mentioned. However i have a 65L Gregory Baltoro and its 2.2kg before ive even put anything in it. I LOVE that pack. Its my go to if im loading up or packing my fears in UK January weather and sticking the h

Ooh this is right up my alley as a shorter dude who was insanely fat and got fit via backpacking. I'll recommend the same pack I recommend to everyone: REI Flash 55 Also own Gregory Baltoro 75 and it is indeed very comfortable when hauling serious weight for packrafting.

Two day Heaps versus five day White Canyon are very different animals. I wouldn't aim to save much w

I got an osprey farpoint as an all purpose travel/work backpack, as well as hoping to use it for rucking. This bag carries 50lbs better than my Gregory Baltoro Pro 100L. Ive considered getting a cobbler to make straps to move the weight higher in the backpack but as is it feels awesome. Are all Ospr

Back in 2008 I tried a Gregory Baltoro and it definitely did NOT work. Something about the built in lumbar pad put pressure on my lower back and really irritated it. Currently my main pack is a ULA Equipment Catalyst. My wife and I backpack a lot and I usually carry all the shared gear (tent, cook s

I own a few backpacks of different sizes from Osprey and Gregory. They both make excellent and very durable backpacks, but there some notable differences between the brands. Gregory backpacks are usually 15-30% lighter than their Osprey counterparts, but Osprey backpacks are more feature rich (e.g.
