Denali 100 Backpack - 6102cu in

Replacing Gregory's legendary Denali Pro, the Denali 100 Backpack shaves almost an entire pound from the previous design while maintaining the same rugged durability that has made the Denali a staple on serious expeditions. With years of testing and development behind the Denali's design, every feature on this pack ensures comfort, ease of access, and dependability in the most demanding conditions.

In order to save weight, Gregory went with a lighter 210D nylon fabric with 420D high-density reinforcements where they are needed most. A puncture resistant, internally laminated front panel protects against ice axes, crampons, and ski edges, while the 630D high-density nylon base protects the bottom of the pack from rock, ice, and the wear and tear of travel. For suspension, the pack is fitted with Gregory's top-of-the-line Fusion Flex Pro system. The system is composed of two 7075 aluminum frame stays that can be removed as well as a sewn-in framesheet for additional support and to prevent gear from jabbing your back. An anti-barreling tubular cross-stay prevents the bag from bunching when weighed down with a heavy load. High-density EVA foam padding at the shoulders, back, and hip pads ensure a comfortable fit, while the hip pads can be removed for a more comfortable feel when wearing a harness.

The classic top-loading design allows you to access the bag from the top as well as from the side through the full-length side slash zip access point. A removable lid is fitted with a zippered pocket on the underside for small items. A dual-access front access pocket allows extra layers to be packed away for quick access and is also equipped with a zip-away internal divider. Side mesh pockets stow water bottles, and dual zippered waist belt pockets are great for light items like a GPS or snacks. An internal hydration reservoir with tube port makes hiking with a bladder possible, and a quick-access zippered side pocket is designed to keep your topo map close at hand. Since the pack is designed for serious expeditions, the front of the Denali 100 provides multiple carry options for ice axes, rope, skis.
