"The Gregory Ekko backpack is the only bag you need for year-round climbing and skiing tours and daytrips. Grab your gloves from the top of the pack and access your rope through the front of it. Dual access lets you organize your pack for easy gear change-outs. The Gregory Exo-Frame framesheet is flexible enough to move with you as you reach for a climbing hold or plant your ski pole, and is stable enough to support a full load when you're hiking for five miles to get to your route.

Built to carry 25lb or less, this is the perfect pack for a day at the crag, the icicle, or hiking laps in search of pow. The ice axe loops are removable so when the spring hits you can customize your bag for the rock."

"I love this pack! I originally bought it for day hikes and hikes to favorite climbing walls with my gear. I have pushed it to its weight limit, carrying as much as 35+ pounds(manufacturer rates it at a max of 30 lbs)and it has passed with flying colors."

"I chose the Ekko as my European travel pack when I was studying abroad. It was perfect for long weekends traveling by train and was very comfortable carrying clothes, camera, bread knife, and some food -- enough for one 10-day excursion. I never threw too much weight into it, though I expect it could handle upwards of 35 lbs."

"Pack suspension is fantastic--light, single 3/4 length stay doesn't qualify it as a rucksack--comfortable, strong and flexible for intensive warm weather day hikes or snowshoe, backcountry or xc ski tours. Plenty of room for gear, clothing, or food for a long day trip."
