GregoryMountain Products Men's Baltoro 65 Backpacking Pack

黒のLが、三万円ちょいの格安価格で出品されていたのでポチりました。黒だけ安く、青、赤は4.2万ほどの通常価格でした。グレゴリーのバルトロはずっと憧れのザック。でも価格が価格だけに躊躇してました。この出品を見つけ、こんな価格で？と、ポチった後、覚悟しましたが、笑、検品し、二度山行で使いました。ちゃんと本物のようです。バルトロ65は、Lだと69Lの容量。Mが65L、Sは61Lです。店舗での試着ではMでも大丈夫と言われましたが、試しに背負ったバルトロ75がいい感じで、でも沢山入るザックは重すぎて背負えなくなるとの話を聞き、バルトロ65のLに決めてました。身長は179cm、Lはちょうどのサイズ。格安のLを見つけられてラッキーでした。先日。近くの低山5km、1700m峰12kmの二座、二日連続、12kgの重さにして試した感想です。長所・12kgは自分でも初めての重さでした。持つとズッシリですが、バルトロで背負うと、手で持つより軽く感じます。　ネットのバルトロのフィッティング動画を参考に、ヒップベルトを締めると腰に荷重がかかり、ショルダーハーネスを締めると肩に荷重がかかる、チェストベルトは軽く押さえる程度・・を意識しながら、登り下りで調整しながら状況に応じたベストポジションを探しました。肩から下ろすと重いザックが、肩に背負うと軽く感じます。見事です。　途中、湖面に映った自分の背負い姿を見て、なるほど！雨蓋からなんとタケコプターが生えて持ち上げてくれるんだ！・・という夢を見るほどの軽さです。笑・右手後ろのボトルポケットが使いやすい。斜め前に開口部が向き、開口部の締めはゴムを引いて、緩めは長方形のトグルを引く、と後ろ手の手探りでもわかりやすい仕様。500mlのペットボトルは楽々、1Lのナルゲンがベストフィット、もう少し大きくてもなんとかなりそうです。　使用しない時は、ベルクロでしまっておけます。・各種ポケットの充実　雨蓋表面　二箇所、裏一箇所。　ザック表面　メッシュ一箇所、サイド二箇　所。　サイド　左25cm 右ドリンクホルダー　かゆい所に手が届く充実ぶりです。・メイン気室の雨蓋下の開閉ストラップは、グレゴリーならではの一発開閉！気持ちよく閉まり開きます。短所・背面の四角い鋼材のフレーム。頭を上げると後頭部に当たります。真上を見上げる事が難しいです。笑・ヒップベルトのポケット、ちょっと小さめ。右側は防水仕様ですが、私のiPhoneSEでギリです。先代のZ35と大差ない仕様です。・ストラップ・バックル類は充実ですが、メイン気室のジッパー開閉には殆どのバックルを外す必要があります。　日帰り登山にはオーバースペックですが、手持ちのグレゴリーZ35、オスプレイ　ケストレル38と比べると、余裕ある容量で、これからのテント泊山行が楽しみです。

This is my first hiking backpack and I'm so glad I made the choice to buy this one, from the first time I put it on I loved it, it is super comfortable, the material is premium quality, it even brings a daypack and a rain cover, I love the front zipper that let me access the inside of the pack without having to unpack everything from the top. I'm excited for the many adventures that awaits me with this backpack, soon it will be 8 days with me into the Peruvian Andes. PD: It is not a lightweight backpack, it weights around 4.7 Pounds, but it has so many features that it is worth it.

Pretty nice bag, I was able to get the blue on here for $310CDN, compared to $400 in store. Would definitely recommend trying a pack on in person and having at least 30 to 35 lbs in itI was initially going for the osprey Atmos 65 AG. Which fit really well with just a slight discomfort in the hip belt. So I decided to try the Gregory and it fit to me like a glove in a small.I have only done a small trial run with about 33 lbs so far, and intend to use it on multi-day 50km + hikesPros:-Comes with rain cover (mine was blue, unlike hedious neon yellow on the photo.)-Built in very minimal day pack - has good sized straps so it shouldn't dig in with moderate weight-Can open from the front and top. So you're not digging through your whole pack to grab one item.-bottom sleeping bag compartment, with exterior straps underneath for pads or tent.-the shoulder and waist straps are very well cushioned.Cons:-there are two pockets on the waist belt, one mesh one water proof. Both are too small to fit a cell phone. Could have been bigger.-Weight, it is definitely not a light pack coming in at 4.84lbs.-the support system is not as adjustable comparable to say the Osprey Atmos and other packs, but it fits me just great.-the shoulder straps make a small rustling sound while walking, haven't really noticed that on other types of tried.So overall 4/5, I will probably update this review after a couple real hikes with it. I think this bag came out in 2015 so I would expect an update very soon.

I recently got to use my new Baltoro 65 on a 2-day backpack trip, with a lot of climbing and narrow rocky trails. There's probably not enough space here to mention all of the really great things about this pack. The countless number of little features, which you can spend days exploring. The numerous zippered openings, at all levels of the pack, so you can reach in anywhere and grab what you need without unloading. The various strap and load adjustments, so you can tailor the load distribution and fit perfectly for your body. The perfect fit of the flexible frame, belt and straps, which literally move and become one with your body. The small internal day pack. The waterproof side bag for cell phones. The included rain cover. Mesh pockets. Water bottle holders. Heavy duty hanging loop. Various gear loops strategically placed around the bag. The secure bottom mounting for sleeping pad, tent or bag. The little well-engineered details just go on and on.The only negatives are: 1) It may be a tad heavier than other 65L packs. This is probably because of the heavier ballistic-type nylon used in construction. 2) Lifting and loading onto your back can be a challenge with this pack. 3) The lid compartment is loosely divided. This is good in some ways, bad if you have something larger to put in there. 4) A clear map/document/solar panel storage pouch on top would be nice. 5) The top drawstring and cinch are not intuitive.Overall I highly recommend this pack. Excellent choice!

This product came packaged really well. Nice quality backpack. has several compartments with multiple different ways to get into them. Can store a lot more than you would think. Great support straps for the shoulders and lower back support. Overall would recommend to others.
