Backcountry Edge

Product Highlights

New colors! A load-carrying workhorse, the Gregory Baltoro has garnered numerous awards since bursting on the scene in 2006. A wealth of access points, an array of features and an innovative suspension system make the Baltoro 70 a stand-out backcountry performer.

Whether you're going to be out in the back country for a weekend getaway or planning to spend an entire week outside, the Baltoro 70 is the pack for the job. The standard capacity of the Baltoro 70 is well over 4000 cubic inches and capacity increases with the use of an extendible integrated spindrift collar.

Determined to avoid the failings of ill-fitting backpacks, Gregory has equipped the Baltoro 70 with the updated, high-performance Response Auto Fit Suspension (AFS) system. Designed to flex with the natural movements of your body, AFS distributes weight evenly, providing superior load stability, comfort and range of motion. A single aluminum stay connects to twin independently rotating waistbelt panels that automatically adjust to the angle of your hips and ensure proper load transfer. Accompanying stabilizer straps allow for micro adjustments for optimal fit. A curved composite top frame "stiffener" further increases stability and aids in weight distribution. The Baltoro 70's shoulder harness connects to the frame of the pack via rotating Auto-Cant attachment points, adjusting automatically to the contours of your neck and shoulders and eliminating the pinching and chafing caused by the imperfect fit of fixed or less adjustable harnesses. The 3D precurved harness and waistbelt are bolstered with dual density foams to cushion and prevent chafing. A sternum strap and load-lifter straps further enhance the fit of the Baltoro 70 and ensure the stability of your load.

A lashed divider separates the top and front-entry main compartment of the Baltoro 70 from a lower sleeping bag compartment, allowing for organization and separation of wet and dry gear. When hauling longer items or in need of access between the two compartments, you can unhook the divider and convert the Baltoro 70 to a single, large compartment. The extendible lid of the Baltoro 70 includes a weather-resistant zippered pocket for stowing gear and can be detached when not needed. Zippered side pockets and a large front pocket provide additional places to store gear.

The Baltoro 70 also includes a canted, hideaway water bottle holder, dual mesh waistbelt pockets, gear loops and side, cross over and lower panel compression straps. An integrated sleeve and dual exit ports make the Baltoro 70 hydration compatible.

Available in your choice of color options, the Gregory Baltoro 70 comes in S (4149 cubic inch capacity), M (4271 cu in) and L (4638 cu in) size options.
