Why We Like The Baltoro Pro 85L Backpack
Gregory's Baltoro Pro Backpack is best-used on the bigger mountaineering missions and longer backpacking trips. It has plenty of space for larger insulators, sleeping bags, and climbing gear. Gregory made the suspension system with heavier loads in mind, and the shoulder straps, waist belt, and back panel move with us for an easier time on the trail. We also like the removable SideKick daypack that can take our hydration reservoir and essentials for short jaunts away from camp.

Good fitting pack but….
Good fitting pack easily adjustable but it really needs external side pockets to be a great pack.

Lives up to the Baltoro name
I've had the original Baltoro (which is a 70 liter) for many years and have brought it on a lot of summer backpacking trips. I have been a loyal proponent of that pack. It fits my body well, distributes weight efficiently and is a great all-around pack. For 3 season, extended day trips I decided to get the 85. I had expectations that it would perform as well as my original Baltoro and have not been disappointed. The new design upgrades are great and the extra space allows me to pack more gear without compromising efficiency and ease of use. I used it this past October on a four day trip on the AZT and it performed great. Super adjustable to dial in my specific body specs. Excellent pack!

I want to love this pack. It’s impossible!
Difficulty fitting. Sags under load. No parts can adapt the fitment on this new version. Hit belt seam digs into skin.

Love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just used this on a backpacking trip in the Uintas, and it worked great. A lot of my gear is older and bulkier so finding a pack that can carry a lot of weight and still be comfortable is big priority for me, and I felt like this pack did a great job of it. The hip belts are extremely comfortable, and I love the shoulder straps which can adjust perfectly to take the extra weight off. I also love the top flap and all of it's pockets which provide a ton of space to carry things which I need immediate access to. #giftedproduct
