Gregory Backpacks

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.

The Deva is the women's-fit Baltoro and Gregory's heavy hauler. It shares the Baltoro's FreeFloat A3 Pro suspension, which pivots with the wearer's movement, and its 60 lb manufacturer load rating is among the highest of any women's pack on this site.

The Baltoro 65 is Gregory's legendary load hauler and the Atmos AG's biggest rival in the comfort-first category. Its FreeFloat A3 suspension pivots with your hips, and the pack is famous for making 50 lb loads feel manageable. The women's equivalent is the Deva 60.

The Focal 58 is Gregory's answer to the Exos: an ultralight with a genuinely ventilated FreeFloat suspended mesh back and a dynamic pivoting hipbelt. The women's version is the Facet 55. It undercuts the Exos on features while matching it on weight.

The Citro is Gregory's hydration day pack and ships with a 3 L reservoir included. At 2.0 lb it is lighter than Osprey's equivalent Manta 24 by well over a pound, and $30 cheaper, while bundling a larger bladder.

The women's-fit Citro: 1.93 lb with a 3 L reservoir included and a 420D reinforced base, at $180. It matches the men's Citro on price while weighing marginally less and adding a tougher base fabric.

The Zulu 30 is Gregory's big day-hiker and light-overnighter, pairing a ventilated FreeFloat suspended mesh back with a pivoting hipbelt and an adjustable torso. The women's version is the Jade 28.

The Jade is the women's counterpart to the Zulu day line, at 28 L and built on the same 400D polyester ripstop and suspended ventilated panel. It sits between a day pack and a light overnight carry.

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.

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.

The Zulu is Gregory's ventilated three-season pack, sitting below the Paragon in price and above the Stout in refinement. 3.5 inches of torso adjustment across two frame sizes and a hipbelt spanning 27 to 51 inches make it one of the more accommodating packs on this site.

The Nano is Gregory's simple day pack. At 17 oz and $80 it is the value option in this group, with tough 450D recycled polyester panels most packs at the price skip.

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.

Gregory's Focal in a women's cut, the Facet is a lightweight framed pack that keeps the FreeFloat suspended mesh and a tubular aluminum frame while holding the size S to 2.49 lb at 45 L. Gregory rates it to 35 lb, includes a rain cover, and sells a Facet 55 for longer trips.

Gregory's frameless hiking daypack is the Kiro 24: 1.54 lb, a perforated foam back instead of a suspended mesh, a wrap-over harness, and a rain cover stowed under the lid. It comes in 20, 24 and 28 L and lists at $119.95.

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.

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.

The Zulu LT is the lightened version of Gregory's ventilated day pack, using the VaporSpan suspended panel that holds the pack off the back. At 2.3 lb for 24 L it trades some weight for airflow, which is the same bargain Osprey's Stratos makes at a similar price.
