Gregory Paragon 48L Unisex Lightweight Backpacking Pack, Breathable Backpanel, Raincover Included, Water Bladder Sleeve (Reservoir not Included), Small/Medium, Burnt Olive

Was looking for a new backpack to try out and ended up buying the Gregory Paragon 68 in the medium/large size. I am 6 foot 1 inch tall and weigh 140 pounds. The pack fits well and is comfortable. So far I have had it out on one short overnight trip. I weighed the loaded pack at the trailhead and it was 32 pounds with all the gear for the trip. You can fit a lot into the pack and I thought the pack carried the weight well. The included raincover is nice. Lots of pockets. The fabric seems thin but did not tear on the trip so maybe it is durable enough. The hipbelt pockets are handy but are small. The shoulder straps were comfortable except felt a little rough on the skin when hiking shirtless. All in all I am satisfied.

Love my bag pack. Lots of room. Able to get all my items in. Well made and durable.

Athletic build 6’1 210lbs. Fits great. Lots of room for 1-2 overnights.

Very comfortable. The adjustability makes it easy to get the perfect fit. The adjustable hip belt is a huge plus. I used this recently on a hike with about 30lbs and it felt like nothing. Going to be using this pack on a two week backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Reservation in New Mexico with my son this summer with a total trail weight of close to 50lbs. I'm confident that this pack will do the job just fine!

After 20 years + as an Infantry man in the United States Marines there is one thing I know and it is HIKING and crappy backpacks.This backpack is not a crappy one, in fact it might be the best one I have ever tried before.Light weight, heavy duty, plenty of features for everyone with plenty of space and looks great too .I absolutely love it.

This is a great brand. Borrowed a friend’s backpack and decided I needed to have one of my own. It’s lightweight but durable. The 80 size is perfect for a 6’2” person.

Gave this as a gift to an avid outdoorsman, hiker, camper and the feedback I received was that it is a great backpack, good size with plenty of space for supplies.

I really, really wanted to like this bag. Especially out of the box! Fits well, adjustable, nice color, etc. However, the cons of this bag really outweighed the pros (especially the noise) and I question the quality of the bag. Ended up returning it.Pros: is, indeed, lightweight. Very lightweight, compared to my smaller Thule. It also fits really well and handles weight quite well.Cons:Water bottle pocket fabric got a hole before I even took it out hiking. Never seen that before. I get that the stretchy pocket fabric is inherently less strong than the rest, but come on. Slight snag and thus a hole was born. I've taken my other packs around the world, stuffed them to the brim, had them mistreated by baggage handlers, and only one has a tiny hole in the water bottle pocket, whereas the other is still completely strong. I didn't have a chance to take this thing out into the world before it started falling apart!It was so noisy that I had to wear headphones to enjoy my time. Like, I cannot overstate how noisy this thing is. Every step is a huge squeak like wipers on a dry windshield, and after a while it began to drive me crazy. I adjusted it a million different ways, redistributed the weight, but still... SQUEAK. SQUEAK. SQUEAK. SQUEAK. I was glad I had noise cancelling headphones, because when turning the noise cancelling off, the noise of the pack came through loud and clear regardless of the music. Even *with* noise cancelling headphones it came through, but with the music playing it drowned it out well enough.I'm also not sure about how packable this thing is. It says 58 liters, and I won't say that it isn't, but it is a very small 58 liters. I have a 45 liter backpack and a 65 liter backpack, and this thing feels much closer to the 45 liter backpack in size, although, mathematically speaking, it should be a lot closer to the 65 L. My 65 L is pretty extendible, and you can really over-pack that thing, but this one is skinny at the bottom and doesn't allow for much extra packing on the top.So, I returned it. This was my first time ordering online without trying the pack first. Read the reviews, they seemed decent, but this pack has some serious flaws and I'm not sure I'll buy this brand again.
