Free Float™ A3 Suspension
Flexes and adapts to the natural walking motion of your hips and upper body to deliver a new standard in trail comfort.
Perimeter Frame Architecture
An alloy perimeter frame surrounds the pack’s hipbelt and harness, enabling a dynamic support system to move freely while providing stable load management. A fiberglass cross support positioned at the center of the frame maintains the pack shape, so the pack’s weight stays close to your center of gravity.
Polygiene® Stays Fresh Technology
An odor control fabric treatment applied to the backpanel, hipbelt, and shoulder harness mesh inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria to keep your pack fresher, longer. Polygiene® Stays Fresh Technology is bluesign® approved, and has Oeko-tex Eco Passports approval.
Autro-rotating Shoulder Harness
Shoulder harness auto-adjusts to match your shoulder slope angles. While hiking, the rotation allows the pack to move with your body’s natural walking movements, which in turn keeps your center of gravity more balanced and ultimately conserves energy on the trail.
Aircushion Backpanel
The foamless backpanel is built from a proprietary 3D mesh with a honeycomb structure consisting of over 90% open-air. This next-generation padding reduces surface contact to provide true on-the-back breathability, eliminates pressure points, has moisture-wicking cooling benefits, and is treated with Polygiene® Stays Fresh anti-odor treatment.
Freefloat Dynamic Hipbelt
The hipbelt is attached to the outer frame via two flex panels that allow the entire hipbelt assembly and lower Comfort Cradle to move independently of the outer frame. This flexibility coupled with the rotating shoulder harnesses allows the pack to adapt and flex with your body’s natural movements to save crucial energy and deliver unrivaled comfort. The hipbelt is built with a special cocktail of three different foam densities, most importantly Gregory’s LifeSpan EVA, as well a rigid HDPE support layer sandwiched in the center, making this one of the most comfortable hipbelts ever built.
3D Shoulder Harness & Hipbelts
Both the shoulder harness and hipbelt are designed to have a pre-curved 3D shape, eliminating bunching and hot spots against your body. The 3D shape also provides consistent padding and support where the load of the pack meets your unique body shape.
ComfortGrip Lumbar
The soft molded gription pad positioned on the small of the back prevents pack slip while carrying heavy loads. Only found on our Baltoro and Deva collection, this invaluable piece of technology keeps the pack positioned high on the hips to maximize load transfer and avoid the classic overtightening of the hipbelt.
