Getting ready for my hike trip in the Sierra Mountains this summer.
Gonna hike in for 3 days total so I needed a comforatble big pack.
My other packs were killing my shoulders and I will be doing some all out hiking at 9000+ feet
with 30 lbs of gear.
Been waiting on this sale.


My Alice pack is for SHTF.
This one is for hiking in the mountains.


Here are the specks

For comfort-seeking adventurers, this new Gregory® pack offers a pivoting suspension system that aligns with your hip shape and body movements.
New Response™ Suspension System pivots to self-adjust its waistbelt to your hip angle; system also pivots to mirror your body as it moves
Natural pivot control lets you automatically adjust the amount of movement
Cross-over compression straps and side stiffening panels distribute compression over a wide surface to stabilize partially full pack
Design offers three ways to get at your gear with top-loading, front zip and bottom zippered access to the main compartment
Hydration-compatible design features a reservoir sleeve and dual drink-tube exit ports for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)
Contoured 3D waistbelt and harness use dual-density foams laminated to the surface fabric, resulting in cushioning without pinching or binding
A single aluminum stay helps support heavy loads
Features twin gear/ice axe loops, quick-release sleeping pad straps and easily accessed stretch side-pockets
Top lid pocket lets you keep compass, maps, small essentials or raingear close at hand
Large capacity front pocket has a water-resistant zipper
Waterproof tarpaulin material covers the bottom of the pack to provide long-lasting wear and protection from the elements
Made of lightweight 630-denier and 210-denier high-tenacity nylon body fabric for strength and durability

I have the "wenger-swiss army ibex" model. It is absolutely identical, only with a couple of added features, and in gray and black. It cost me $50.00 shipped. They are all built in china anyways, might as well get it cheaper ;)

I used to carry my canteen on my belt. No sense carrying 2.5lb on my back.

money matters

Good luck buying any decent backpacking mfrs gear if you want "made in USA". Even the most expensive Marmot and TNF down bags are done in china.

REI is a great resource if you are local. They will ship warehouse & website items to your local store for free if you don't mind the wait. For weighty gear, that can be a real savings.

Just an idea that might help somebody else who opens up this old thread.
