Gregory
Gregory Stout 70
Gregory pairs the women's Amber 68 with the men's Stout 70: a 70 L internal-frame pack at 3.77 lb that sells for well under the Baltoro line. The frame pairs alloy steel with a fiberglass anti-barreling cross stay, the torso adjusts on a one-size harness, and Gregory rates it to 50 lb. A Plus version with an extended-fit harness and hipbelt carries the same 70 L for $259.95.

Features
Pros
- ✓3.77 lb for 70 L is more than a pound under the Baltoro 65 in the same brand, at about two-thirds of its price.
- ✓Gregory states a 50 lb maximum carry weight, which puts the Stout in genuine expedition-load territory rather than the 30-35 lb most mid-price packs admit to.
- ✓The alloy steel frame gets a fiberglass anti-barreling cross stay and an HDPE sheet, so a full load does not round the pack off your back.
- ✓Quick-adjust torso on a one-size harness, plus a Plus version with an extended-fit harness and hipbelt for larger bodies.
- ✓Large zippered hipbelt pockets and an internal hydration sleeve come standard.
- ✓Gregory's lifetime warranty covers it like the rest of the line.
Cons
- ✗A foam contact back panel rather than suspended mesh, so it runs warmer than the Zulu or Paragon lines.
- ✗210D body fabric is lighter-duty than the 400D-class cloth Gregory uses on its Zulu and Jade packs.
- ✗Lid removability and bear-canister fit are not stated.

Gregory Amber 68
The Amber is Gregory's value women's pack and the counterpart to the men's Stout. It runs an unusually deep size ladder for a budget line -- 34, 44, 54 and 68 L -- and is one of the few packs on this site explicitly confirmed to fit a bear canister both vertically and horizontally.

Gregory Paragon 60
The Paragon 60 replaced the long-running Paragon 58 in Gregory's 2025 lineup, adding the FreeFloat suspension from the Baltoro in a pack that's more than a pound lighter. It targets the sweet spot between comfort haulers and ultralight packs. The women's version is the Maven 58.

Gregory Maven 58
The Maven is the women's-fit Paragon and the pack that most gear roundups name as the best all-round women's backpacking pack. At 3.4 lb it sits between the overbuilt Deva and the ultralight Facet, which is why it wins comparisons on balance rather than on any single number.
