Paragon 58

Infinitesimal adjustability, standout breathability, ridiculous comfort! As a satisfied owner of Gregory's Baltoro 85 and 75 GZ backpacks, I anticipated getting some trail time in with Gregory's new Paragon 58. Gregory Packs is no strangers to turning out coveted thru-hike size backpacks. In 2015, the Gregory Baltoro 85 laid claim to Backpacker Magazine's Editor Choice Gold Award and Outside Magazine's Gear of the Year Award. Heavyweight hauler comfort is what they are known for.

Z 40

Great build quality and very versatile. This pack offers all you need. I have had this pack for 11 months now and I really can't be more happy. It has some of above stated flaws, but that is just my personal opinion. I've mostly used it on multi-day hikes throughout woods and mountain areas and I am very satisfied.

My go-to for the tough and long ones. Full review

3D Hydro 3L Reservoir

A reservoir with innovations that make sense, but durability could be a big issue. The main advantage is the three-dimensional shape of the reservoir, which allows it to easily fill and dry out. Other plus factors include a fold-away hook to hang it up, an easy-to-use open/shut valve, a sturdy hang hook (if you use it with a Gregory pack), and a baffle to prevent water from sloshing. With or without a Gregory pack, this reservoir should have been a worthy competitor for your hydration needs. Unfortunately,… Full review
