Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpack - 4149-4638cu in
The Cadillac of Packs
By Tang
Ranked #87 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)
April 25, 2011
I've used this pack for over a year now, and what a year it's been! The Presidential Range, overnights in the 'dacks, a snowshoe trip in the Rockies, this pack excels in all conditions. I upgraded from a p.o.s. Eureeka external frame, and I will never go back. This pack may have a few more lbs to it than some people would like, but they all go towards making it as comfortable as possible over long hikes. Not only are the straps and waist belt designed to feel invisible, the weight is so well distributed on your hips, and hugs so close to your back, that you barely feel a pack at all. This has enough room for a week long trip in the summer, or a 3 day-er with winter gear, and its simplistic design ensures nothing gets lost, but everything has a place. The zip access to the main compartment comes in handy when the pack is in your canoe and you don't want to open up the whole top.
I'm 6'4", 210lb, and I bought a Large pack, but actually needed a Medium waist belt. Overall, this is the pack I have been looking for.
