Gregory Baltoro 70

GREAT PACK! Been on many backpacking trips with it the last two years. On an average 7-hour day trek on and off trail, through steep and rocky terrain this pack feels superb on my back. With the weight distributed on the heavily padded pivoting hip belt I can feel no pressure on my shoulder, or on the hip for that matter.

Love this pack, virtually no problems with this pack over many canoe trips/portages, 8-mile round trips through fossil creek and the 25-mile crazy hard trip through west clear creek wilderness over the last year.

Good design, decent space, awesome suspension but at the beginning of each trip the pack squeaked a little for about 20 min.

I absolutely love this pack. I hike around Washington state often, and am usually up near some sort of high alpine lake. The straps on this pack are much more padded than others, and its never chaffed, pinched, or given me any other types of problems.

First, let me say, I am a woman and bought this pack mid-summer. When it comes to pack fit, it's all about what feels best, isn't it? I went into the outfitter's shop pretty much decided on the Gregory Women's Deva 60 because the weight, colors and bells and whistles were appealing but when I loaded it up and strapped it on, I could never get the fit between shoulders and hip belt to fit just right.

My first review, so I won't pretend like I'm some sort of a backpacking pro. I'll be straightforward with you, because that's how I like it.

First off, let me start by telling you me honest opinion: What a great pack.

There were some seriously great minds used in the engineering of this pack.

Took it to the Wind River Range in Wyoming for 5 days. Overall, a decent pack for for long weekend/short week trips. Was comfortable with a 50-60 lb load, though I would personally not load it any heavier. I was really impressed how easy it was to move on highly variable terrain.

I have been backpacking for 35 years and have only had 3-4 backpacks the entire time. I like numerous pockets rather than one main compartment. This pack fits the bill. I have had it two seasons and used it on several week long and shorter trips.

Gregory did it again, another great product. This pack is great for heavy long trips. I have put up to 70lbs in it for practice hikes and had no problems. It is SUPER comfortable and carries weight VERY well. Every time I put this pack on I smile because I know I will not be in any pain at the end of the trip. Thank you, Gregory.

I had to replace my Gregory Keeler that I used for one summer with the Baltoro because it got stolen. This pack fits very well and has a couple different features than the Keeler. First, this pack comes with a Nalgene water bottle holder on the side.

Although not super-heavy, this thing is a work-horse that can take very heavy load. This is a solid pack and fit me very well.

I have been backpacking for over 10 years and there are some companies that have stood the test of time in producing quality gear--Gregory is one of them. Make sure this is the right model Gregory for your trip, but past that do not hesitate to purchase this pack.

Used this pack for a two-month trip through Central America, and it was the only piece of gear I brought which didn't break down, and I abused the hell out if it. It survived days and days of being crammed on top of, inside and all around sketchy buses, up and down a two-day trek up Cerro Chirripo (a 12500 foot peak) in Costa Rica, and lots (I mean lots) of time being hauled all around over and through the jungle.

The plastic plate used to attach the right strap to the pack at the shoulder broke the night I began a climb of Mt Hood. Had a spare pack not been available my climb would've been over. At least it didn't happen on the mountain. Upon return to REI, a similar event was mentioned concerning another Baltoro.

I bought this pack from ebags and got an excellent price. I am taking a year long trip and started it in February. The first day of my trip the snap that holds the waist padding in place broke. I believe it may have been defective as it separated instead of unsnapping.

It’s a great pack, extraordinarily comfortable. For a couple of days, even in the cold, it will treat you very well. It holds my -20 bag, pads, winter tent, stove, three days food, thermal gear and some spare socks very, very nicely. I'm afraid I have to turn it in for something a little bigger, as it is not quite big enough for cold distance trips, but for a 2-4 days, it's probably the most comfortable pack I have put on, perfect weight distribution.

WOW! What a great pack. Gregory really spent a lot of time redesigning the suspension. I took this bad boy to the Grand Canyon for two nights and the whole trip - going down and up was very confortable! I would not leave home without it! Lot of space, very versatile, incredible suspension, great backpack for weekend trips and more!
