Carry Comfort: Discover Your Perfect Gregory Pack

Welcome! And just a quick heads-up—starting now, I’ll be including an affiliate link to Gregory Packs every time I mention them. Thank you for your support!

A Legacy of Fit & Function

Gregory Packs began in 1977 in San Diego, founded by Bill—or rather Wayne—Gregory, a passionate tinkerer who believed backpacks should feel like extensions of your body. From his early Boy Scout days building his own bag, he pioneered adjustable torso lengths, hip belts, and suspensions tailored for real bodies and real adventures. His philosophy? Great packs should be worn, not carried. 

Why Gregory Stands Out

Here’s why so many hikers and travelers swear by Gregory:

• Custom Fit for Real Bodies
  Gregory offers multiple torso and hipbelt sizes, plus gender- and body-specific designs—including a dedicated plus-size collection launched in collaboration with Unlikely Hikers. These aren’t just oversized bags—they’re carefully redesigned for comfort, accessibility, and inclusivity. 

• Innovative Suspension Systems
  Gregory’s suspension tech—like Response A3, FreeFloat, and AeroSpan—moves with you, supports heavy loads, and keeps your back ventilated and comfortable. 

• Rugged Durability
  Built with thoughtful construction, reinforced stress points, and a lifetime guarantee, Gregory packs are made to last thousands of miles. 

Choose the Right Style for Your Adventure

Gregory gives you options for every kind of journey:

• Backpacking Giants (e.g., Baltoro, Deva, Paragon)
  Comfortable for multi-day treks with robust suspension, durable fabrics, and excellent load distribution. 

• Daypacks & Everyday Bags (e.g., Zulu, Jade, Border Carry-On 40)
  Lightweight, versatile, and well-ventilated—great for commuting, travel, or quick hikes. 

• Plus-Size Packs
  Tailored for sizes 2X–6X with extended straps, reimagined pocket placements, and thoughtful ergonomics—designed together with real users for real fit. 

Real Users, Real Comfort

Enthusiasts consistently praise Gregory for one simple reason: comfort.

• A long-time user raved: “Our packs have proven to be durable, comfortable and able to carry everything we need for an extended overnight trip.” 

• In tests of the Gregory Zulu, reviewers loved the suspension system and hipbelt: “I trust it. I look forward to wearing it. And I know that it’s going to last me a really long time.” 

What To Consider When Choosing Your Pack

• Match Your Fit
  Start with torso measurement and hipbelt size—they make all the difference in comfort under load.

• Think Suspension & Weight
  Models like the Jade/Zulu shine with their FreeFloat systems, but they’re heavier—ideal for comfort, less ideal for ultralight needs. 

• Purpose First
  Are you trekking multi-day? Look at Baltoro or Deva. Need a travel-friendly or daypack? Try the Border Carry-On or Zulu. Plus-size? Explore the plus-size collection.
