Gregory Pingora Backpacks - Response Suspension

I spent the summer with this pack, and it was indeed the little monster that could. I took it on short trips over the weekend, a kayaking trip down the Missouri River, and an extended trip through the Bob Marshall Wilderness. It held everything I needed and did so in comfort. The packing would be easier with a bottom compartment, and many of the outside holds are unzipped, causing me to wear an outside cover at the slightest sign of rain. Overall, it got the job done, like I said before, in amazing comfort. Gregory's "Response System," once adjusted, allowed the stability and response to the varying types of hiking encountered. I love her, and should I ever go larger, I'll keep her as the failsafe she is.

Sweet pack when I wear this one out I'm going to get another Gregory

For a meagre outlay, currently one of *the* bargains in mid-size packs, thankfully without superfluous bells and whistles. Harness fits like the proverbial glove - best fit of any brand thus far. Nice balance on the trail fully laden. Appears to be made for the long haul. Overall, highly recommended.

This backpack was used to carry 18kg of load during a 8 days backpack trip in Thailand. It kept everything in place and durability of this bag cannot be underestimated.
