Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
I hadn't been hiking in years when I agreed to a trip to Big Bend. I went into REI expecting to buy an external frame pack but was amazed at how far technology has come since the days when I lugged half my weight around in old ALICE packs.
The Gregory packs were by far the most comfortable in the store. In the field carrying 3 days worth of water among all the other camping gear, I was quite pleased at how well this large pack could carry 50+ pound loads. The suspension was fully adjustable, allowing me to easily configure the loading between my hips and shoulders. I was able to adjust the pack so that 100% of the weight was comfortably carried on my hips while the shoulder straps provided ample stability. Try that with an ALICE pack.
This is a great pack and I highly recommend it however since Gregory designers obviously read these reviews I feel that I must point out a few minor shortcomings.
The first is that there are no Velcro loops on the shoulder straps to help hold a hydration hose in place. I know you can buy Velcro straps and hydration hose clips but this should be included on a pack in this price range.
The second shortcoming is that there were no D rings on the shoulder straps. Carrying a heavy load on your back forces you to lean forward to keep your c.g. over your feet and the ability to hang some gear off your chest helps in maintaining an upright posture although the excellent suspension system makes this only a minor complaint.
And finally my personal rant: I wish the marketing guys would quit trying to force the designers into trying to make the top lids into day packs. Yes it's functional but I'm not convinced that the complexity required to remove the waist pads and relocate them on the top lid is worth the limited utility a lumbar pack provides. This is a 95 liter expedition class pack after all, and if I wanted to camp in the same place every night or cover the same ground over and over I would go car camping.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
This is a do it all pack of you want to spend more than just a few days out in the back country. With large capacity, multiple pockets(that are an organization freaks DREAM), and 5 access points to the main compartment it has it all. I have taken it on one 5 day, 35 mile hike with 45 lbs and it was underpacked. I wished i had taken more weight. I swear by Gregory and they continue to impress me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PACK. (very water resistant too)

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
I just returned from a 40 day backpacking/mountaineering trip and this pack DID NOT live up to the Gregory name. Within the first 10 days, I was sewing this pack back together. On the trip as a whole, three Whitney's went out, and they were all returned to REI. Two of them had stitches in them fixing blowouts. The third pack had its hip belt completely break away from the pack, leaving someone carrying a 85 pound pack all on his shoulders. In short, buy the older versions of the Whitney. The new one is far from durable and did not make it even ten days before blowing out. Out of three packs, all three failed and were returned.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
I took this backpack on a two week backpacking trip. On the fourth day, I discovered that the plastic inside the hipstrap had broken. For the rest of the trip, I carried fifty pounds on my shoulders. One of the zipper pulls also came off a few days later and the seam on the left water bottle holder broke. My friend's backpack (also the Gregory Whitney 95) broke in the exact same places.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
This bag is not worth your money. Within 2 weeks of a 7 week trip my hip belt had cracked. By the end of the trip every single Gregory pack (4 Whitney's and 8 Diva's) had a broken hip belt. Granted we were carrying 10 days worth of food at time, other brands of bags on the trip held up fine.
This bag might be worth it if you are carrying less than 40 lbs and only going on weekend trips. I would not recommend it for heavy loads or extended trips.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
Your going to love this pack. I just finished a 65 mile backpacking trip with this pack and it performed well. The waterproof zippers are awesome and the weight distribution is amazing. I was around 65 to 70 pounds and this pack really carried the weight well. I used the Gregory pack sack for rain and this kept everything dry as a bone inside. The waist suspension system is genius and very easy to adjust to comfort. My shoulders never hurt and hips feel great after 14 miles a day. I am worried about all of the breakage issues so many people are having but I am told Gregory really stands behind his product. I have a friend who returned his pack due to a broken zipper and Gregory sent him a brand new pack. With that kind of service policy and the amazing design I am going to keep my pack...Thanks Gregory for another job well done!

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
I loved this pack. I took it on a 12 day backpacking trip and it worked great. I had no problems. I learned how to adjust it and work the straps and it was perfect. I had plenty of room and it was easily adjustable while hiking. The only real problem i had with it was that one of the zippers broke off, but it didn't really mess up anything at all. This pack is great for long hikes and i like the look of it too. I recommend this pack to anyone who is serious about backpacking, and anyone that goes on long hikes.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
Bought this pack for a 107 mile no resupply hike carrying almost 80 pounds. This pack performed extremely well overall. Construction, comfort and features are top notch. I did however return the pack for the Gregory Baltoro because the Whitney frame as I read on other reviews squeks. The frame make a metal wrenching sound with every step. It was tolerable but I expect more from Gregory and at this price point. If I experience the same issue with the Baltoro I will probably switch to Osprey brand packs. My friend on the same hike had the Argon 85 and it performed well with no complaints.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
I just took this out on a quick 15 mile weekender to see how comfortable this pack was really going to be. I found it very easy to load and access my gear. The suspension system makes the pack feel like a pillow on my back, and it felt like the weight of one too (despite the 50+ pounds I loaded into it)! The small pocket on the right was perfect for my handheld GPS where I was able to easily grab it while I was hiking. I even got stuck in a downpour of a thunder storm and my pack kept everything dry (with the aid of an REI pack cover).
The pack is a bit on the heavy side, but when you are looking for this kind of capacity, a few extra pounds is not going to make a huge difference. I just found ways to drop weight off my other gear to compensate. My only other complaint is that the pad on the back did not seem to breathe very much, but the narrow and fitted design helped keep my back ventilated fairly well.

Comments about Gregory Whitney 95 Pack:
As with many of the reviewers, I had a relatively positive experience with the Whitney 95. I used it on an 80 day backpacking and mountaineering expedition. It was comfortable, easy to pack and had plenty of room for our 10 day ration periods. However, very soon in to the trip (4-6 days), the plastic molding holding the form-fit hip belt began to crack. Eventually, after several more days of hiking, the plastic on both sides severed entirely. Luckily the hip belt held and was manageable, albeit uncomfortable. It was very disappointing to see an otherwise perfect pack deteriorate at such a pivotal point. I have exchanged it and hope that it was a manufacturing defect and my new one holds up a little better.
