I currently have a Lowe Alpine Alpamayo 90 pack. Is the Gregory Denali Pro significantly better? (Obviously it holds 15 more liters.) I've had my Lowe Alpine loaded up with 75 pounds. Carried fine--even ran a few miles with it loaded up like that. Is the Gregory going to be noticably different? I'm an infantryman so I'm used to carrying absurd weight--would I be able to tell the difference between the two packs because my definition of heavy is far above most people's.

Hi Jesse Although I haven't used the Lowe you mention I have used the Gregory Denali Pro. While it is a solid pack which can carry a lot, I am not sure it is necessarily the best big load pack around. For example, I have used the Arcteryx Bora 95 (which in Tall is as big as the Denali) and think that is a more comfortable carry. Another little point, the sleeping bag access is small, particularly if you're trying to get a winter bag in (not a deal breaker since you can load this from the top if necessary, but mildly annoying). Another small thing is they have a reputation for being a bit noisy (mine developed a squeek after a couple of trips). Well built however with some good attributes and should last well.
