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.

Patagonia Capilene expedition top with a regular long underwear top under it and a nylon wind shell and Sugoi Subzero tights kept me comfortable as hiking wear and then as pajamas minus the wind shell at 15 degrees, with a 10 degree sleeping bag. At -1 degrees adding an Outdoor Research Cathode jack

Im the same height. After trying on many packs at an outfitter, I broke down and got a Gregory Baltoro 75. Its super comfortable and I love it. The largest cons would be that its rather expensive and a bit heavy as far as backpacks go. I don’t remember what torso length its set for at the moment but
