Description

A sturdy pack that accommodates your body, your movements, and your hiking plans.

Gregory gave the Baltoro 65 a hefty helping of cargo capacity and a supremely comfortable suspension system so that even when the pack is fully loaded on a one-, two-, or three-day trip, it will offer stable support for mile after mile.

  • Response AFS Suspension system incorporates a pivoting shoulder harness and pivoting hip-belt that move with your body throughout your stride (rather than resisting against your body's movements)
  • Pre-curved foam harness and thermo-molded backpanel conform to your shape without chafing against it
  • Single aluminum stay prevents barreling and transfers the load to your hips
  • Detachable top lid makes a waistbelt pack when you go on side-hikes or quick summit attempts from camp
  • Hydration sleeve (reservoir sold separately) and water bottle pocket keep H2O close at hand
  • Includes removable divider for sleeping bag compartment
  • Plenty of pockets keep small items organized
  • Highly durable fabric and DWR-coated water-resistant zippers stand up to abrasion and the elements

I took this pack out of the box and immediately noticed that "Electric Yellow" had a very slight greenish tinge to it, and wasn't the thermonuclear yellow depicted in the pictures. I can't say whether I was disappointed or not, but the color has grown on me so I am satisfied.

I loaded it up with a 45� sleeping bag. my 20� fit, but barely. I then added two changes of clothes, full rain gear, a hammock tent, a bevy of camping supplies like a stove, water filter, headlamp, hat, gloves, etc, and it all fit. my first aid and inflatable sleeping pad fit as well, and I put another foam sleeping pad on the outside. I filled a large 48oz Nalgene (the tall one) and stuck it in the bottle holder. It didn't fit, per say, but the bungee cord easily looped across the cap and the whole operation stayed put.

Once it was loaded, I added a DSLR camera and a pair of big headphones, and a spare pair of shoes, and headed to NYC for two days. I walked about 10 miles around the city with the Baltoro on my back over a wool shirt and a fleece. it was about 40-50� and I never got too warm or sweaty.

In fact, I never exerted myself. The dynamic hipbelt and shoulders were a dream! The pack stayed balanced, and I felt like I was carrying the load directly over my center of gravity. It was extremely comfortable for 35lbs. I was sold!

I will update this when I take it into the backcountry next month.

I've used it on overnighters and on weeklong winter trips. Loaded it with at least 60 lbs and it carried well.
The waist belt is very comfortable and moves with me very well, the shoulder straps are well padded too, although the waist will support most of the weight easily. The load adjusters are well placed for use while wearing and work great.
The sleeping bag compartment fits even my 0� winter bag ( Marmot couloir) in a large sea to summit dry compression sack.
I like the front access to the main compartment, the buckles work well and didn't ice up in sticky snow.
Cons: seems small for a 65L, noticeably smaller than the Arcteryx and Osprey I've used. The vertical zipper on the rear facing pocket is pretty much impossible to get anything in or out of when the pack is full, I try not to use it for anything not soft and stuffable. It would work for a small jacket, a beanie, some socks or a long sleeve shirt. I wish it was more functional, like the pocket on the Arcteryx Bora 65.
The compression straps are well placed and were strong enough to hold my skis on with my Scarpa Mobe boots attached.
I actually like the design of the Arcteryx bag better, but the comfort of the harness makes me happier wearing the Gregory. I'm 5'11" with a 32" waist and I got the medium.
All in all, a great pack.

Love it

Any advise on how to put the divider back in place for the sleeping bag compartment. Thanks.

Turn the tabs on the divider sideways to fit through the plastic rectangular keepers on the inside of the pack itself.

I really like this pack. I'm not an expert by any means, but so far I'm happy. Took this out just recently on an overnighter in the Red River Gorge in KY. Pretty steep terrain and really never even notice the pack on my back. Carries the weight really well.

The Baltoro comes in ranges of torso size. (Small:16-18 Medium:18-20 Large:20-22) You need to measure your torso size and buy the appropriate pack. If you are on the edge of sizes, buy the smaller one. Example: if you have an 18in torso measurement like me, get the small which fits 16-18.

i have a 20 degree synthetic pinole from mountain hardwear. It sounds like it won't fit in the sleeping bag compartment. Is there a removable divider? would it fit if i put it in a compression sack first for putting it in the sleeping bag compartment
?

The pack uses a lashed divider to separate the top compartment from the sleeping bag compartment. You can unhook the divider to create one large compartment in the pack. That being said, a compression sack for your sleeping bag will still be a good idea as it will help to take up less space in the pack. Check out sea to summit or granite gear for an awesome compression sack.

It should fit fine, definitely will with a compression sack. I have a zero degree bag that I can still shoehorn in, in a large sea to summit dry compression bag.

Next year i'm planning to do a 80 days hike to Santiago de Compostella. In total 1522 km. I'm planning to go light and still have to purchase lots o my gear. Except tent (Vango Helium 2001.3 Kgs) en the Therma-rest Xlite Large. Those i bought already.

I'm wonderingif tis backpack would suit my needs and considering the weight. I'm hesitating between this baltoro 65 or the Deuter act+Lite 50+10.

Any tips,advice or suggestions. Or even general tips on long hiking tris are welcome.

Hey David,

I hope I caught you before your trip! This pack will serve you well. It's a little on the heavier side, but cancels that out with premium support and comfort. If you want some more evidence/opinion, check out: http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Backpacks-Backpacking-Reviews

Great pack with lots of features. Carries the weight very well. My only gripe is that it squeaks like crazy.

I was actually about to purchase this pack . What squeaking/ noise are you actually reffering too ? Is it a bad annoying noise ? Is it normal ? What is causing it ?

Thomas Ogasawara

The harness sometimes squeaks a little as you walk. You can fiddle with it and adjust it a little to mitigate it, but it come and goes from time to time. I have no problem with the squeaking, it's a normal part of packs what have freely moving components.

I am planning a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail next March. Is this bag sufficient for that? What sleeping bag and mat and tent does anyone recommend. I am 71 and plan about a 65 lb weight for the pack. Thanks for any help or advice you can give.

Dave Marcus

65 lbs is a lot to carry for a single day of hiking, let alone 2-3 months. While I admire your ambition to tackle the AT at 71, I implore you to reconsider every aspect of your packing list before you embark. Read the forums at www.whiteblaze.com for AT wisdom and suggestions.

As a former Army Ranger and avid hiker/explorer, 65lbs is way too much for hiking the AT. You will likely be down and out with knee or shin pain by the second week. Drop weight by losing the tent, sleeping in the trail shelters. At the most, bring a poncho, some nylon cord, and lightweight tent stakes for the wet months of May/June should you need to erect a shelter. Reduce water carried and refill every 3-5 miles at shelter wells, and lose additional weight wherever you can. Try to get to no more than 40 lbs. by mailing additional supplies to post offices along the AT. Lots of books and websites out there that can explain the supply cashe option.

I love my Baltoro 65. Gregory is known for producing not necessarily the lightest packs on the trail, but packs that are absolutely bomber and tough. I'm a "tweener" (or in between two sizes) and I bumped down, and have had no regrets. If you have never bought a pack before, try one on first, because different brands target different people based on how the pack is composed or how it will fit different people.

I am debating on buying the 65L or the 75L. I am expecting to use it on trips varying from 3 days - 3 weeks, as well as use it for travel (air/train). Should I be leaning toward one size or the other?

Thomas Ogasawara

It really depends on your physical build/packing style. I have the 65 and I can fit everything I need for a few weeks. My buddy has the 75, and it weighs about the same.

You can pack 65L into the 75, and use the compression straps to keep it tight, but you can't cram 75L into the 65.

If you're comfortable carrying ~50lb I would go with the 75L, but if you're into packing light I think the 65L is more than adequate for your needs.

Unrelated note: The picture on the website makes the 65 look awfully colored, but in reality it's a really cool green/olive color.

WIll be traveling through Brazil for three weeks. Rio, Florianopolis, and then some time in the Amazon. Looking for a pack that can tackle the both phases. Doesn't necessarily need to be ready for an ice-climbing expedition, but I'm not looking for a roller bag either. If I had to lean to one side, I would want a pack I could use for backpacking, camping, etc... Whaddya think?

good choice. maybe a little larger volume if it is a self-supported trip depending on weather and how much clothing you will have to pack.
