Baltoro

I don’t have any recs for similar bags, but I have experience with this bag type. I started my backpacking journey with the 75L version of this bag for the same reasons you like this one. It’s not a terrible bag but you can tell the weight isn’t being worn as well as it could be. I personally never

This is sort of an irrelevant reply (apologies) because im about to compare 2 packs youve not mentioned. However i have a 65L Gregory Baltoro and its 2.2kg before ive even put anything in it. I LOVE that pack. Its my go to if im loading up or packing my fears in UK January weather and sticking the h

Ooh this is right up my alley as a shorter dude who was insanely fat and got fit via backpacking. I'll recommend the same pack I recommend to everyone: REI Flash 55 Also own Gregory Baltoro 75 and it is indeed very comfortable when hauling serious weight for packrafting. That said, not sure why the

I somewhat agree with this, but it's better to have a slightly larger pack than you usually need. Just because you're gear may only be 40L and your pack is 60L doesn't mean you're 'lugging around 20 liters of empty pack', as that extra 20L worth of pack material is probably just a few ounces in weig

I own a Gregory Zulu 65 (purchased in 2022) and a Baltoro 95 Pro (purchased in 2020). The Baltoro series packs are heavier, more robust, have more features typically, and are designed for heavier loads. The Zulu is designed for lighter loads and is a simpler pack when compared to the Baltoro. My Zul

I mean personally I just use my 65L and make it as small as possible when I do smaller trips like this. I don’t like the idea of having multiple bags so I just got one big one with a lot of adjustment. I went with a Gregory Baltoro, you can take the lid off completely for -10L and it has a bunch of

My comfort items will always be my pack and sleeping pad. My Gregory Baltoro 65L is overkill, but if I cut weight where I can like tent, miscellaneous, tools, etc., then I can have a nice sleeping pad for a side sleeper like me and possibly upsize my tent if I’m taking a partner. r/ultralight_jerk i

I got an osprey farpoint as an all purpose travel/work backpack, as well as hoping to use it for rucking. This bag carries 50lbs better than my Gregory Baltoro Pro 100L. Ive considered getting a cobbler to make straps to move the weight higher in the backpack but as is it feels awesome. Are all Ospr

I use a 65L Gregory Baltoro for backpacking with a hammock. It has enough space for longer trips, cold weather, and times where I need to carry a bear can for my food. Honestly though, if all you are doing is car camping and you aren't at all concerned about weight, basically any large pack will do.

My Gregory Baltoro 65 has been sized to help me carry most of our gear on family backpacking trips with the kids (6-9yo). Love that thing! When loaded up it’s really supportive. It’s not ultralight, but I find the support and loadout tradeoff is worth the extra couple pounds.
