Gregory Baltoro 75 M, trekkingrugzak, kleur: Alaska Blue

Great bag with a lot of good features and works well on week long trips.

Bought this pack to replace a Gregory Whitney that I foolishly sold a few years back. I haven't hiked with it fully (or even half-ly loaded...LOL) yet but putting some weight in it and walking around the property with it on helped me realize it will be a winner for me...probably even better than the Whitney!

Coming from a more stripped down basic backpack, the Gregory Baltoro 75L was packed full of features to make a backpacking trip much more comfortable. My other backpack weighs about half as much but is only rated for 35 lbs maximum, while the Baltoro can comfortably carry an additional 20 lbs or so. There are three access points for the main compartment which is very handy as you can put your sleeping bag at the bottom and remove it through the bottom zipper and not have to tke everything out to get to it. It also features 10 or so pockets which is very useful for stashing gear in easy to access spots. This would be a great backpack for backcountry trips with long supply carries or for someone that just wants a comfortable pack for weekend trips.

Nice pack design easy on the shoulders and has a decent gram support for your back. I love all the extra pockets and different compartments that are perfect to stash snacks and hydration on a recent day hike.

This thing is amazing. I waited to review it until I could give it a solid test. To test it, I loaded up a bunch of water jugs (two were full - 40lbs) and hiked a steep trail to a spring, where I refilled all the jugs. 7 gallons worth of water (56lbs) was collected and this pack held the weight really well, distributing it between my shoulders and hips perfectly. The design is top notch and I love that this (slightly older) version has the sidekick bag and rain cover. I will use this a whole bunch this year, and for years to come.
