Back panel may be the downfall to a good fit!
Makgyver2 years ago
IF the pack fits you well, this seems like a great backpack. I really liked so many of its features that it was tough to send it back, but the fit was just really uncomfortable, with the issue being the giant seam that runs across the top of the mesh air frame between the shoulders. Because it is stitched into the design of the bag, it doesn't travel up and down as the shoulder straps are adjusted. With the hip belt sitting at the waist, the this thick padded seam, supporting a good amount of the weight of the pack, sits pushing against my back. Rather than hip belt and shoulder straps holding the weight and the back panel sitting comfortably, the pack is noticeably sitting perched on this seam.
Some PROS: Pocket design - main compartment accessible from the bottom sleeping bag access, the main top load drawstring, and the front zippered panel. I really liked the top horseshoe zipper on the top of the lid / brain - it made it so easy to access items up there. I really liked the generous hip belt pockets - finally ones that are big enough for trail snacks, cell phone, multi-tool, etc., AND they are forward enough on the hip belt to easily access on the trail. The waterbottle holster on the right side is also great, able to reach it very easily (kinda wish there was one on the left side, too, though the left side mesh pocket is a good one, wish it had both the pocket and the holster there). Nice long lashing straps and loops on the bottom, as well.
If it fits you, it seems like it would be a great pack. (I'm 5'8", 165 lbs., specs suggested Medium would fit well; hip belt and shoulder straps did fit when as properly adjusted)
I ended up buying the very similarly designed Osprey Aether Plus 100 (S/M); with few 100L options, I also tried the Kelty Coyote 105 (felt very inexpensive (albeit it was) and lacked a lot of the thoughtful design features that are in our 2018 Coyote 80 pack; big disappointment from Kelty), and the Gregory Denali 100L (I was disappointed to realize it's only a top-loader, as I've been spoiled by the main panel access, though I understand the pros/cons to having it; nonetheless, for me it was a non-starter).

Okay this pack is not small or lightweight, but that is not why you buy a 100L pack. I carried this pack with 33lbs over 16 miles. It carries so well. The way the shoulder pads/hip belt swivel helps to make carrying this pack amazing. No soreness from the pack at all. They also added heavier duty foam in the padding to help with heavier loads. I LOVE this pack.

I purchased the 100 pro for the extra room. It succeeds at that. A lot of new features from the Baltoro 75. The one thing it’s missing is a rain cover. We need a rain cover!!! For those over weight like me. You might not need the hip extension in large size. Fits a lot better than the Baltoro 75. Will not throw the old one away. It has served me well and still performing. No rain cover of all things to leave out!!!! They thought of everything else!!!!

Great pack

First I really like this pack. It is well made and pretty tough. I bought it the way I always do. I walked into what I think is a good shop. In this case REI Anchorage and say "show me the largest pack you have." In this case it was Gregory Baltoro 100. Inevitable it strikes me as too small. I always think of trips to the Wrangell-St. Elias or Talkeetna mounyains with caving gear, spare food, crampons, ice axe,... oh my goodness! It lacks side pockets which I think all packs should have and a place to nicely lash a 60 odd pounds of stuff on top. I actually look back foundly to my old aluminum frame Kelty pack. I hauled out a 120lb ammonite (museum donated) 15 odd miles with that. I have doubts you could do it with an internal frame pack. For me the weight of the pack makes no difference. A few days of food and gear exceeds the weight of the pack. i.e. I want more pack for storage and expedition use. Get on board the crazy train!

Might not be great for smaller people, but for people my size, it’s amazing. I love this pack. Fits great, feels great, and carries almost everything one might want or need on a long trip.

I have used this pack for a large number of trips so far and find it very comfortable with large heavy loads. The pack is built very well and I for see a long lifetime for it in my travels. Excellent pack.

So close, but not close enough
2 years ago
So close to being a great ruck! The downsides: 1) I'm between the Medium and Large - the Medium feels like a child's pack in every regard, the Large fits everywhere except the waist - no matter how tight I tighten it, it's just a smidge too loose! The adjustable waist strap is nice, but a little more velcro and I would think I could make this work 2) This ruck has the same fatal flaw sternum strap design as Osprey - from the first time using it, you can hear the sternum strap straining and squeaking - it DOES NOT stay put and constantly slides up - and I cringe waiting for it to pop off its rails or break altogether (the reason I dropped Osprey)... while carrying 50lbs. Other than the fit and the horrific sternum strap design, this THE most comfortable ruck I've ever put on. When it comes to 100L+, I've recently tried Osprey (terrible sternum strap), Mystery Ranch (terrible shoulder straps that constantly slip and need adjusted, and the Gregory Denali with sternum straps that stay in-place but have a metal on fabric design that just destroys itself after 50 or so miles. Back to the Baltoro - this would be a great pack if they had more overlap in sizes and implemented a more robust sternum strap that would stay put and not be subject to failure (you don't realize how important the sternum strap is until it breaks on Day 2 of a 10-day trip!).

Lots of storage.

So much space and can handle 70 lbs without killing me. Gregory packs are so easy to fit and accommodate lots of different loads. This replaced my 20-year old Gregory Shasta which is still going strong but I want more pockets and cushioning.
