"As a "sherpa dad" who carries all the community gear for up to 3, I needed a large pack with beefy suspension. This is it. Very comfortable with monster loads, and very adjustable suspension.

I echo the sentiments of others regarding the side pockets; if these were separate from the interior or had a taller divider on the inside, they would be much more usable."

"Great Pack, although there are a few things I wish they would have done differently.

Positives
-Lots of pockets and zippers, you can get to just about anything in your pack without having to dig
-Comfortable, I've worn it all day with 60 lbs without a problem, straps are easily accessible to shift weight around in the pack."

"Nice pack. Side pockets and their access to main compartment, plus front access, is sweet.

I used to live in California and Oregon. Got an A16 external frame in 1972 (excellent for its time) and a Lowe single-compartment toploader in 1986 (a great pack)."

"I used this pack to hike the John Muir Trail (211 miles over the Sierra Nevadas) last summer. Great pack, the hip belt was sturdy enough to carry my consistent 7 or 8 day load, lost of good zippers and webbing for access. I haven't yet seen a pack that compares."

"This my third large Gregory (I wore out the previous two). It carries well on foot and skis, on the level or steep slope. I also have other Gregory packs, including a Rumper room (fanny) and Day and one-half pack. Well made and hold up to the roughest of use. External pockets very useful for incidentals. Great new design for 1 Liter water bottle on hip belt."

"Excellent pack. Tried on many, this and the Osprey fit me best. This replaces a pack I had for 13 years. It performed great in a 7-day trip in the Canadian Rockies and a hike across Isle Royale."

"I recently purchased the Gregory Whitney '04 pack comparing it with the Osprey Crescent 85 and Arc'Teryx Bora 80. I was always leaning toward the Whitney due to the water bottle holder and 3-point access to the main pack. All three packs had side access to the main compartment, but you have to unbuckle the straps to access them."

"The frame fits me better than any pack I've ever owned. Custom fitting with the Whitney, although kind of a pain in the ass, gives you lots of options, and I tend to be barrel-chested. Very comfortable, balanced load, even with a ton of weight in it."

"I got this pack for my birthday two years ago from Northern Mountain Supply. It is awesome. I love the easy access pockets to store your frequently used gear. The inside of the pack can be reached from each side, the front, the bottom, and the top."

"What were they thinking with the buckles? You can't even get the straps even close to being tight before the buckles give. and If you pack the main part tight, the side pockets aren't even useable! I tell ya, My friend that I was traveling with had a great time laughing at me fighting with my pack."
