Super comfortable, shrinkflation, questions
jed56343 years ago
I bought this because no other pack fit me as well as this one. I'm excited to take it on the trail in a couple of weeks. Some thoughts:
1. Last year's model came with a rain cover, this one does not, but the starting retail price didn't change. Had I known, I might have bought last years model for at a (currently) lower price. Shrinkflation (i.e. less, for the same price).
2. Last year's model came with a daypack, this one does not. This isn't a big thing for me as I really like my daypack and most likely wouldn't have used the Gregory anyway, but it seemed like another shrinkflation hit.
3. The documentation that comes with this pack doesn't include a lot of detail. There are a lot of pockets, attachments points, zippers, and straps. I know I'll eventually find how I like to use them all, but it would be nice to see what the designers' thoughts were for each pocket. Surely they didn't just add a bunch of stuff all over without some thought; what were those ideas?
I believe I'll be happy with this pack over the long-term, it's just going to take some testing and some more $ for a rain cover, which was the most disappointing thing for me.

Ah, the legendary Baltoro 75! I own the previous model, it's great. A heavy duty pack that will haul all you need with comfort and stability. I got a hands on look at this new model at my local REI. I am not particularly impressed, and I'll tell you why.
Lets be nice and start with a positive. They have made the hip belt pockets larger now. They can actually fit a modern phone in them, whereas the old ones could not. That's pretty good! Unfortunately, while making them larger, they removed the "WeatherShield" pocket on the right side that was heavy-duty bombproof, 100% waterproof, and had an aquaguard zipper. Now, both pockets are the same, and sewn down to the hip belt. Just normal run of the mill hip pockets. No more lifting them up to stash the extra hip belt length, and velcroing down. They are in a fixed position, like the Zulu, Paragon, Stout etc. They should've made them bigger and kept the waterproof fancy pocket. I like keeping my $1,000 cellphone dry.
They've changed the suspension and the padding in the back. I suppose if you need you fit dialed in specifically, this could be a good thing. I don't know if the velco adjustments will hold after years of hauling 40+lbs. My old one fit fine, but I can't take off too many points here, perhaps it works out in the long run.
What I can and will take points off for are the sneaky removal of 2 features from the old model, which you can get back on this new model if you want to fork over an additional $80.
This new model no longer comes with a rain cover. Its now sold separately for $39.95. Thanks, Greg.
This new model no longer contains a summit pack/hydration bladder holder, but rather has the attachment loops for it instead. It's now being sold separately as the "Nano 14" for, you guessed it, $39.95. Thanks again, Greg.
To get this new Baltoro to have the same features as the old one, it's going to cost you $430, instead of $350. I can't get behind that. Make improvements, yes. Redesign the brain pockets and zippers, sure. Please don't outright remove things that were previously included, and keep the price the same. I think you can get a better pack if you have $430 to spend. Sorry, Greg.

Favorite backpack for past 7 years
8 months ago
Bought this in 2017, lots of mountaineering, wilderness and trail backpacking. Easily holds 100bs almost comfortably over a week/10 days. Hugs body well when navigating snow and tree wells, scrambling too. Still hasn't torn! The amount of pockets it has is really useful. It can also be asjusted to your body well. Surprisingly water resistant, and came with a nice rain cover!

Comfortable and breathable
1 month ago
Took this pack on its first adventure on the Healy Pass to Egypt Lake in Banff. The pack was comfortable and breathable on the back. Nice to not be super sweaty on the climbs. Carried a total weight including the bag of 38lbs. Its nice to have the headroom for longer trips which I have planned for later this year. The mid pack access zippers and extra pockets were nice to have. Don't have to tear your pack apart if you forgot to take out snacks for the day. I wish the bag came with the summit pack and rain cover. I also wish the bag had longer shoulder straps but that might just be something I can work out with moving the back panel around. Overall, I think this bag is great and I would buy it again. I will take it on a few multi-day trips and feel confident it will work out great.

Great for heavy loads

Super comfortable, lots of room and great organization. The pack is on the heavy side but its so comfortable that I think its worth it, especially if you will be carrying heavy loads. I use it for long backpacking trips with no resupplies which for me is about a week. I also use it when I take trips with my wife and daughter and inevitably have to carry a lot more gear. Lots of room inside and many pockets on the exterior to keep you organized and not have to dig through your pack frequently. I picked it up on sale for like $250-$260 and its worth the cost in my opinion, overall very happy with this pack.

Extremely Functional, do it all pack
3 years ago
I work as a guide and this pack is my go-to for guided trips, overnights, travel, and even shorter day trips. It's been very durable overall through quite a bit of abuse, and comfortable to wear whether I've had it cinched down with 10 lbs or fully loaded with 70+ pounds. Particularly love the two waterproof hip belt pockets that can hold larger phones, smaller cameras, batteries, etc, which was a game changer over the previous pocket design. The stacked brain pockets on top of the bag are easily accessible (with some practice) without taking off the pack, and so between the hip pockets and those, you can keep quite a few things soon hand.

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.

If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features

The good. It has all the right pockets in all the right places for all the stuff I like to take with me. And I take a lot of stuff with me. Including the weight of the pack, I'm sometimes carrying between 45 and 50 lbs. The bad. Fits Waist/Hips - M: 28-50 inches, L: 30-52 inches Even though the pack I bought is labelled "M", it has min/max waist measurements that match size "L". I didn't notice until I started having problems with pack. I'm normally a 32" waist, but lose about an inch per week for the first 3 weeks of a thru-hike. On the Continental Divide Trail, this pack became very uncomfortable after about 2 weeks. Although it's highly configurable, no amount of pack adjustment can mitigate the effects of a hip belt that's 1 inch too large. The ugly. Both sides of the hip-belt have an extra length of padding which is held in place by a piece of Velcro. This piece of Velcro is too small to handle a 45 to 50 pound load, and I found that it gradually started slipping within an hour of hiking each morning. It made the hip-belt-too-large problem even worse.

Heavy Hauler

My last Gregory pack made it for a lot of years and miles carrying heavy loads. I started out on backpacking adventures with a limited budget and heavy gear. I needed a solid pack with good suspension and Gregory is my first choice. I’ve used other brands and they are good, but nothing seems to be more comfortable at higher carry weight. I have since been able to afford lightweight gear and got my base weight down to near ultralight levels, but I still wanted something robust that I could rely on in winter or when carrying gear for my kids. This pack was a perfect fit for those situations when I know I’m going heavy carrying 2 or 3 people worth of equipment. It’s great for beginners and advanced backpackers and could be a do it all for most situations.

Outstanding warranty

Gregory has an exceptional hassle free warranty policy. Broken buckle? worn strap? no problem. Solid customer support and warranty is priceless! Some manufacturers want to dump product issues on REI. Not Gregory! They step up. This version of the Baltero is easier to slightly easier load than the prior version, but pretty similar. The straps are excellent. Fit and adjustment is easy. The prior Baltero works great too. I am sticking with Gregory.
