Gregory Baltoro 85 Internal Frame Backpack

[@mat-ventures]

Thanks a lot for the really detailed review of this pack!

[@JonGarrood]

Thanks man, looking for a 85l expedition pack, great content with no BS

[@artaguzeldemirci4273]

Great review. In 2021, is it still worth buying (compared to other similar segment packs)?

[@Enwild]

we're super huge fans of the A3 suspension system so YES it's still worth buying

[@chuguevara9717]

Which one you think is better? Osprey ag system or baltoro response a3 system

[@kisle3195]

A3 is A+ above the rest

Do you know the volume of the daypack of this pack and the Osprey Aether 85 daypack? thanks

[@Enwild]

Hi Doug, thanks for posting! The Gregory SideKick has an 18L capacity, but the volume of Osprey's DayLid will vary depending on the size of the pack. Happy Trails!

Sorry this is late, but the Aether 85 is 15 liters.

Hello guys, i wanna ask, between baltoro 85 and xenith 88, which one is more better ?

[@Enwild]

Hey Ferry, thanks for the question! They are pretty similar packs, so it's tough to say what's "best". The Xenith 88 has a bit more range for it's torso length, but it does not come in a Small size like the Baltoro 85. These packs have similar backpanels, so the carry should feel comparable in that area. It's probably worth noting that the Xenith 88 is rated for a maximum load of 70 lbs, while the Baltoro 85 is rated for 60 lbs. The Baltoro comes with a rain cover in case that factors into the decision. Happy Trails!

How does this pack compare to the 2016/1027 version?

[@Enwild]

For 2018, Gregory updated the structure and materials of the Baltoro and Deva packs. Previously, they had large vertical barrel pockets on the front that was only accessible through vertical zippers on the sides. The new ones also have the vertical barrel zippers, but they are smaller and there is also a stretch stuff pocket that is convenient to access. It creates a more streamlined profile while adding convenience. Also, the backpanel on the 2018 Baltoros and Devas utilize cut foam and mesh for enhanced breathability and comfort. The previous model has a more solid backpanel that is equally supportive but not as soft. Thanks for watching!

[@Enwild]

Also the cupholder has been updated.

Is this One called black colorwise ? On differnt seller pages it seems it only comes in dusk Blue.

[@Enwild]

This 2018 version is Dusk Blue. The color balance might have been a little off on our cameras that day.

[@perandersen6569]

@@Enwild thank you so much for your answer. Would you take your time to answer this too: The 85 has this "very blue" / marocan blue color under the top lid + divider in the bottom. 1. What color is that on the 75 dusk Blue 2. On the 75 black baltoro.
