Why We Like The Baltoro 75L Backpack
Say we're traveling abroad for our backpacking trip. We're going to need some extra space for everything from traveling clothes to hiking clothes, warm layers and gear, and a good pair of camp shoes so we're not always stuck in our sweaty walking boots. The Baltoro 75L Backpack provides all the space we need to make it happen. This pack gives us ample storage space without sacrificing comfort for our multi-day trek. Because it's a bigger pack, Gregory adds an aluminum frame to stay stable and supported from the minute we step out of our hostel to the second we snuggle into our sleeping bag at the end of the night. Gregory's Response Auto Angle Adjust suspension system moves the LifeSpan EVA shoulder straps up and down the 3D AirMesh back panel for a customized feel that shapes to our back, and specific storage spaces for sleeping bags, poles, sunglasses, and electronics keep us organized from the first day to the last.

Excellent Hiking Pack
This is by far one of the best packs I've used in over 20 years. In addition to the main compartment, there are two side-zip compartments which are great for getting those items you might need in a hurry, like a first-aid kit, rain gear or specialty equipment. I purchased a Medium for my son (15yrs old, 5'2", 120lbs) and it fits him really well and is more than capable of handling his packing lists for Scouts. The only piece I would improve are the zippers on the waist belt pouches. They are not one-hand friendly and requires reaching around to close with both hands... if thats the only issue, you know its a great pack and very well built.

Exceptionally crafted and robust. Endured a continuous 2-hour hike effortlessly, maintaining remarkable comfort even with a load exceeding 40 lbs. the medium/ large works well with broad shoulders.

Most comfortable bag
This is definitely the most comfortable pack I’ve ever used. Held 45lbs evenly. Could feel the suspension doing its thing. Its a rather heavy bag. This will make an alright snowpack. There are good 55L+ options out there under 3lbs BUT youll lose all the comfort. And like I said this is the most comfortable bag I’ve ever used. I came from Osprey. The pocket organization is great and the water bottle location is the best. Wish there was a better way to stash trekking poles without taking off the bag. It has some squeaks too that can drive you nuts in quiet woods. My tent fits in the brain. No regrets adding this pack to my quiver and plan to utilize it for snow camping. Oh! Also! The bag I received looks totally different from the photos and the one you typically see online. I think its a new lineup. Update: after three weekend trips, the loaders squeak and creak so loud its unreal. I cant hear the nature or anything over the stereo lifters creaking away.

Comfortable Pack With Heavy Load
I purchased this pack to summit Mount Ranier. I did so with no break in period at >65lbs of gear in the bag and the bag performed exceptionally well. It also had several pockets and features to make everything within the pack easily accessible.

Comfy and versatile pack
Tried and true design. No tears, no zipper problems, distributes weight well, hip belt didn’t dig in.

Not the pack for me!
I thought I already revised the Baltoro 75 but must have missed it. Love the design, the features, etc. Don’t like the no rain cover and no summit pack or removable brain. Hated the wast belt integration and the squeaky plastic from where the harness straps connect to the pack. Others loved the harness and how it’s laid out, but for someone skinny with not much of a tush, the hip belt chewed me up compared the to the more traditional packs I have used historically. I’m hoping one of my boys can grow into it and not have the same issues, because design-wise, the pack is great in terms of exterior pockets, storage, interior space, etc. I would make one hip belt pocket fully waterproof also.
