Gregory Arrio 22

The Arrio 22 sits a step below the Zulu LT in Gregory's daypack range: an alloy perimeter frame, a FreeSpan suspended mesh back and a zippered panel-loading main compartment at 1.48 lb. Gregory now sells this generation through its outlet, while the redesigned Arrio 20, 24 and 28 take its place in the main line.

Features

Ventilated BackHydration Sleeve

Pros

  • ✓An alloy frame and FreeSpan suspended mesh back at a $109.95 list price, $60 under the Zulu 24 LT.
  • ✓1.48 lb is light for a framed, ventilated daypack.
  • ✓Hydration sleeve as standard.
  • ✓Same lifetime warranty as Gregory's expedition packs.
  • ✓Panel-loading zippered main compartment opens wide for easy access.

Cons

  • ✗One size, with no torso adjustment.
  • ✗No hipbelt pockets: the hipbelt is removable webbing.
  • ✗This generation is being cleared through Gregory's outlet below its $109.95 list price, and the newer Arrio 20/24/28 are a different design, so check which version a listing is.
  • ✗Only 15 lbs of rated carry, so it suits light day loads rather than full winter kits.
