Features

Ventilated BackRaincover Included

Pros

  • ✓1.54 lb, the lightest of Gregory's rain-cover-equipped daypacks.
  • ✓Rain cover included, kept in its own zippered pocket under the top lid.
  • ✓Perforated 3D foam breathes without the depth penalty of a suspended-mesh frame.
  • ✓Wrap-over harness spreads the straps across the shoulders rather than hanging the pack from two points.
  • ✓Three sizes from 20 to 28 L.
  • ✓Gregory backs it for life.

Cons

  • ✗Frameless, so the 20 lb rating is the practical limit rather than a conservative one.
  • ✗$119.95 is $10 more than the Arrio 22, which adds an alloy frame and FreeSpan suspended mesh for the money.
  • ✗An outlet is clearing units at $89.89, which usually signals a colorway or model-year change.
  • ✗A single size with no way to adjust the torso.

Gregory Arrio 22

Daypack

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.

Daypack

Near the bottom of Gregory's price list sits the Terros, a June 2026 addition: a frameless 25 L pack in heavy recycled polyester with a padded back, sold in 20, 25 and 28 L sizes from $89.95 to $109.95. Gregory files it under urban packs but writes it up as trail-comfortable, and the 20 lb rating and C0 DWR put it in line with its hiking daypacks.
