A perennial bestseller for Gregory, this ultralight pack is a favorite among adventure racers as well as thru-hikers.

  • Two ways to get at your gear with a top-loading design plus giant front-panel access to the main compartment
  • AeroTech™ mesh harness and hipbelt with a ventilated molded foam backpanel help to move moisture away for a drier experience
  • Wraptor™ Stabilizer pulls the backpanel in toward the lumbar spine, transferring weight over a wide area
  • Front stretch mesh pocket can hold a helmet, while side stretch mesh pockets can store wet sandals or smaller essentials
  • Hipbelt pockets and a zippered front panel pocket let you stash smaller gear such as digital camera, multi-tool and GPS unit
  • Dual ice axe and trekking pole loops with side lashing system allows you to carry various technical tools
  • Canted bottom prevents sagging and positions pack's load higher on your back for ideal carrying
  • Accommodates two 70 fl. oz. hydration reservoirs or one 128 fl. oz. reservoir (sold separately) with dual hydration ports for non-stop hydration
  • Quickdraw free-floating compression system along with top and bottom webbing compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying
  • Self-healing G Fabric is a high-tenacity nylon impregnated with silicone so its fibers stretch under pressure instead of locking together and tearing

    Comments about Gregory Advent Pro Pack:

    I bought this pack based on the advice of a compatriot who is into ultralight packing. His experience is far different from my own. This pack has two pads on the back which are split about the lumbar level (lower back).
    Why Gregory chose to do this is beyond my comprehension. Unless this pack is absolutly crammed full it bends at that point with the top and bottom halves digging into your lower back. In addition it seems to have an excess of straps to hold this, that, and the other thing most of which seem worthless. I couldn't give it away so now I use it on airplane trips as a carryon for books, overnight clothes etc. As a hiking pack it's lousy and has been replaced by an Osprey Atmos 35 which has none of the aforementioned problems and doesn't weight that much more.

    Comments about Gregory Advent Pro Pack:

    I've used this pack in a variety of environments including the upper Yosemite Valley and the Lost Coast Trail in California. The pack is pleasantly lightweight while still offering many features of heavier packs (Front Loading, and Sleeping Bag Compartment). Although the lack of a rigid frame makes the pack flimsy with very small loads, when amply loaded, the pack is super comfortable. The big pocketes on the hip-belt are perfect for a storage of those little snacks that keep you going. The front pocket is also perfect for quick access to rain gear or first aid kit.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
