Intro
Ultralight backpacking isn’t for every person or every situation. The Baltoro and Deva step up where lesser backpacks falter. Not only can they handle more weight than your average weekender, they carry these loads with a sense of style and degree of comfort up to the standard of any other premium pack.

Features
Weighing in at nearly 5 lbs, Gregory didn’t cut any corners on the feature front. Both the Baltoro 75 and Deva 70 have a huge U-zip running along the front of the pack that allows easy access to the internal compartment. These kinds of access points are particularly important for large load carriers, and pair well with the numerous other organizational amenities Gregory threw in.
Most notably, these packs come with an included daypack that doubles as a sleeve to hold your hydration bladder while you’re on the go. This saves you the trouble of lugging around your gigantic Baltoro or Deva once you’ve found your dedicated campsite for the day, letting you explore unencumbered.

Loving Your Bag for the Long Haul
While you don’t need to bring everything on every trip, the Baltoro 75 and Deva 70 are made specifically for those times when you do. Whether that’s for extended food carries over long miles of trail, or for building luxury basecamps in your favorite basin is up to you.
