User Review: Gregory Whitney 95

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars

I don't own this pack but a hunting buddy does. The problem mentioned with the pockets in an earlier post was the same experienced by my friend. The relatively smaller area for a sleeping bag at the bottom of the main compartment was also a bit of a problem he solved by buying a down bag that could be compressed. Not all of us can solve problems by throwing money at it, and this is not a inexpensive item already.

The kicker for me was when he and I went up to the Cassiars to hunt mountain sheep, the first 200m up and the fancy hip belt system's plastic broke on one side. That put me off the pack.

It was well looked after by Gregory and that's why I gave it a 3 star rating. There has been no issues since. Maybe it was just a Monday lemon but the pocket issue, thin webbing, and the fact that the plastic parts may break again put me off the pack.
