Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpack - 4149-4638cu in

The Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpack is an ideal weekend pack for hikers who like to stay organized, thanks to its three access points into the main compartment and a large front pocket. This pack allows you to access gear through the top, the bottom or access it from the inside of the front pocket. Its pivoting Response frame moves with your body as you hike, comfortably carrying loads up to 50lbs. A waterproof bottom, stretch side pockets and hydration sleeve round out the features on this great pack.

Bottom Line: The Baltoro combines easy access with bombproof construction.

Can this pack carry skis? It looks like it has ski slots on the sides, but no where does it mention is is able to carry skis

You could probably strap them in with the compression straps, but the pack definitely isn't designed for skiing or carrying skis.

While this is a durable pack and definitely a great buy, if you are looking for a pack to carry skis I would advise against it.

Feels great/more filling

This is a great pack. My first Gregory. I've owned several Dakines and Mountain Hardware. Needed larger pack for 6 day Teton trip. Pack weighed approx. 48 lbs (including Nemo tent secured under top flap) and was carried for 46 miles. Very comfortable fit esp. with pivoting belt. Alot of handy pockets and access. Only complaint is no place to hook camelback. Had to fashion one out of wire. Pack was snowed on and rained on, but everything inside stayed dry. Belt pockets are small---compass size. Overall would highly recommend.

i need a pack. the reviews sound good. i'm from hawai`i and there is one pack here that is possible. it's a mountain hardwear pack. i tried it on without any weight. the fit is good but the hip-belt feels like it may be a problem. please help.i keep referring back to this pack. is it worth it for me to take a chance and buy this online without trying it on?

Pack is highly adjustable. Should be no problem as long as you get the general sizing right (i.e. "small" "med." "large". Gregory has a sizing chart on-line, I believe, if you don't have the ability to get measured at a shop.

You can do this yourself by using the torso length measurement. To find your torso length, measure your back along the spine from the the top point of your hipbones to the knobby bone at the base of your neck. This will give you a measurement in inches that will determine the correct pack size. I would use the aforementioned procedure & find your correct size.

Great pack.. and tastes great too

Loved the pack... unfortunately, so did some critter in the middle of the night on my last Fall pack trip! Chewed right through the zippers and all, rendering it basically unrepairable. Replaced it with the same pack! Love the pockets, accessibility, size, comfort (comfort is what sold me, to me well worth the extra pound or so in weight compared with "ultralight" packs). Only noticed that it seemed to make a little more noise on the hike than some other packs, could simply be my not cinching it all up at tight, but seems to be something more to do with the pivoting hip belt harness system??? Wish the hip belt pockets were just a tad bit larger... not much fits in them. Would definitely recommend the pack despite very minor criticisms. Just trying to be honest in assessment.

I fit it myself, then my brother and I did 35 miles of backcountry Wyoming with 55 pounds in it. The pack was solid and comfortable throughout.

Yes, it's water resistant. Treated with DWR (durable water repellant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_Water_Repellent) a coating that causes the water to bead up and roll off, but it's not a waterproof fabric, not seam-sealed...in a quick rain or little drizzle you'll be ok, but if it's really pouring you'll want to have a pack cover, which is the case with most packs. We could make a waterproof pack if you're willing to pay $900 for it...

It's always best to use a rain cover. This will protect your pack contents & give you peace of mind.

Great Pack

By:

I am new to backpacking and on my first trip we went 14 miles and the pack felt great the whole way. I carried about 35lbs including my wife and I's tent, my sleeping bag, 2L of water in camel back, clothes, three 4 serving meals, snacks, and a lot of other stuff I didn't even use. There are plenty of pockets to store all of your nicknacks in. There are plenty of adjustments to get the perfect fit. I highly recommend this pack!

A lot of space, right size, worth your money

By:

I decided myself for this backpack after reading all over the internet for backpacks around the same size and capacity, I was wonder the size of it, even I thought it was bigger, but actually the size is the right for my needs. I got this backpack for 3 month trip I'm about to start and feel comfortable taking with me, besides everything I wanna take with me fits amazing.

New suspension is worth it

By:

By far the most comfortable pack I tried on, and I tried on many! 40 lbs at Yosemite was easy; thoughtful design for streamlined access and outside storage straps, pockets, and loops were all convenient, compact, even though I didn't truly appreciate them until I put them to use.

Comfortable, roomy, recommended

I bought this pack specifically for an 8 day trip in Glacier National Park - couldn't be happier. It was comfortable, held a heck of a lot of stuff (41 lbs at the start of the hike!) and was easy to adjust and has lots of nice pockets and nooks in it. I also use it for frequent weekend trips - good stuff.
