Ever since Wayne Gregory founded Gregory Mountain Products in 1977, technology has been at the forefront of Gregory backpack design.
They were one of the first backpacks to be built in different frame, harness and waistbelt sizes.
Today this philosophy continues with the following pioneering technologies being incorporated into Gregory backpacks ensuring optimisation of load transfer, pack strength and comfort.
Suspension Technologies
Large Gregory Backpacks
Ventilated Gregory Backpacks
Usually ventilation is only found on external frame backpacks, however Gregory, true to their philosophy, have engineered ventilated internal frame backpacks.
Small Gregory Backpacks
Comfort Technologies
Internal Frame Backpacks
All Gregory backpacks are based on internal frame design meaning that the structural supports are integrated directly into the backpack allowing for a closer fit to the body. Internal frame packs can flex as the body moves and maintain a better balance due to the centre of gravity being closer to the body.
This is as opposed to external frame backpacks which feature a rigid, usually metallic frame onto which the pack is bound. External frame were the only packs available up until the 70′s when internal frame bags started becoming available. External frame backpacks are less manoevrable than internal frame ones but excellent for carrying heavy loads.

Tested in the field, Gregory backpacks are famous for their innovative backpack design, ergonomic and comfortable fit. Their reputation for quality, comfort and durability is well deserved and attested to by expedition leads worldwide.
