Gregory Paragon 48

FreeFloat Suspension
The key to long lasting comfort is designing a pack to work with the free movement of your body vs. fighting against your natural hiking motion. The Patent Pending FreeFloat’s lower back Comfort Cradle system allows the structure of the pack to float independently from the movement generated by your body as you hike, all while maintaining proper load transfer evenly from the front edge of your hips through your lower back. The hybrid suspended mesh lower portion with the FreeFloat flex panels allow for your body to move naturally while maintaining the load support provided by the breathable foam backpanel.

3D Foam Backpanel
Designed to minimize contact, while keeping the pack weight very close to your center of gravity, the 3D foam backpanel utilizes a unique cross-cut process to create space between you and the pack allowing for airflow.

Adjustable 3D Comfort Cradle Belt
An evolution of the PreCurve 3D hipbelts found on the award winning Baltoro and Deva packs, the Paragon and Maven hipbelts use 3D Foam construction for body hugging, hot-spot free comfort. By integrating the hipbelt directly into the suspended lower back lumbar support we are able to create an ultra-soft, ventilated Comfort Cradle that wraps around your lower back and adjusts to your hips for the perfect fit every time.

Perimeter Frame
The lightweight alloy perimeter frame, in combination with the Fiberglass cross stay, keeps the weight close to your back and well connected the FreeFloat suspension.

Men's and Women's Geometry
True to Gregory's commitment to gender-specific design, the Paragon and Maven feature tailored shoulder harnesses for women and men. The angles and shape of the 3D Comfort Cradle also feature a gender-specific design to maximize comfort and provide even pressure around your hips.
