Great Pack | |
| Rating: |  |
| I hadn't been hiking in years when I agreed to a trip to Big Bend. I went into REI expecting to buy an external frame pack but was amazed at how far technology has come since the days when I lugged half my weight around in old ALICE packs. The Gregory packs were by far the most comfortable in the store. In the field carrying 3 days worth of water among all the other camping gear, I was quite pleased at how well this large pack could carry 50+ pound loads. The suspension was fully adjustable, allowing me to easily configure the loading between my hips and shoulders. I was able to adjust the pack so that 100% of the weight was comfortably carried on my hips while the shoulder straps provided ample stability. Try that with an ALICE pack. This is a great pack and I highly recommend it however since Gregory designers obviously read these reviews I feel that I must point out a few minor shortcomings. The first is that there are no Velcro loops on the shoulder straps to help hold a hydration hose in place. I know you can buy Velcro straps and hydration hose clips but this should be included on a pack in this price range. The second shortcoming is that there were no D rings on the shoulder straps. Carrying a heavy load on your back forces you to lean forward to keep your c.g. over your feet and the ability to hang some gear off your chest helps in maintaining an upright posture although the excellent suspension system makes this only a minor complaint. And finally my personal rant: I wish the marketing guys would quit trying to force the designers into trying to make the top lids into day packs. Yes it's functional but I'm not convinced that the complexity required to remove the waist pads and relocate them on the top lid is worth the limited utility a lumbar pack provides. This is a 95 liter expedition class pack after all, and if I wanted to camp in the same place every night or cover the same ground over and over I would go car camping. | |

I no longer have to strap gear onto the outside of my pack! | |
| Rating: |  |
| I am of the mindset that unless you are through-hiking the Appalachian Trail, carrying extra amenities for comfort and convenience are well worth the extra bulk. I bought this large Whitney 95 to replace my Gregory Lassen which, while serving me well for many miles, was just not roomy enough for all of my gear...especially when I needed more layers for cold camping. My new Whitney weighs one pound LESS than my old Lassen (construction/material advances I assume) and is 1500 cubic inches larger! If I don’t fill it up entirely, I simply crank down the straps and it instantly becomes a smaller pack. The side pockets are roomy enough to hold all of the gear I keep in ditty bags outside of the main compartment allowing me to place the larger bulkier items (tent, tarp, foam camp chair, giant foam pad, sven saw, hammock, food, clothing, trail runners, etc...) inside. I really don't ever anticipate completely filling this thing up, but it sure is nice to know you have the room if it’s ever needed. It rained the first time I took it out and it pleased me that I could actually put the pack cover over everything because it was INSIDE the pack! I can also load the pack faster without needing a schematic diagram of exactly where everything must go to make it fit. The side, top, and front entrances help that too. This pack is more comfortable and more adjustable than my smaller one. I don’t know why I waited so long to get it. | |

I'm pretty pleased with my Whitney pack so far. Although I haven't done a ton of trips with it, its definitely seen a fair share of use/abuse as it doubles as my suitcase from time to time. Still, I recently completed a six day/50mile trip through the Great Smoky Mountains through the backcountry and along the AT. I probably had 60lbs+ on my back at the beginning of the trip (yeah, I overpacked) but the load never really felt heavy to my 5'11" 185lbs. The CFS suspension system on this pack is awesome, and offers more adjustment and denser padding than other packs I've looked at. And although normally I'm not a huge organization freak, it was really nice to have so many different access points on this pack to compartmentalize my food, rain gear, etc. I never had to pull a bunch of crap out to get at what I needed, which was nice for sure. Still, my only complaint is that after six days of walking the minimal waterproofing laminate on the lower pocket was worn off from my cookset rubbing against it. No worries though, I have the rain cover for the pack so it stayed dry even in the rain. Overall, I would recommend this pack to anyone that wants to go on week long+ adventures and isn't a minimalist freak. If you're strong hiker, and like a comfortable organized pack, look no further than the Whitney, you won't be disappointed. | |

This is a great pack!! | |
| Rating: | |
| I just took this out on a quick 15 mile weekender to see how comfortable this pack was really going to be. I found it very easy to load and access my gear. The suspension system makes the pack feel like a pillow on my back, and it felt like the weight of one too (despite the 50+ pounds I loaded into it)! The small pocket on the right was perfect for my handheld GPS where I was able to easily grab it while I was hiking. I even got stuck in a downpour of a thunder storm and my pack kept everything dry (with the aid of an REI pack cover). The pack is a bit on the heavy side, but when you are looking for this kind of capacity, a few extra pounds is not going to make a huge difference. I just found ways to drop weight off my other gear to compensate. My only other complaint is that the pad on the back did not seem to breathe very much, but the narrow and fitted design helped keep my back ventilated fairly well. | |

| Your going to love this pack. I just finished a 65 mile backpacking trip with this pack and it performed well. The waterproof zippers are awesome and the weight distribution is amazing. I was around 65 to 70 pounds and this pack really carried the weight well. I used the Gregory pack sack for rain and this kept everything dry as a bone inside. The waist suspension system is genius and very easy to adjust to comfort. My shoulders never hurt and hips feel great after 14 miles a day. I am worried about all of the breakage issues so many people are having but I am told Gregory really stands behind his product. I have a friend who returned his pack due to a broken zipper and Gregory sent him a brand new pack. With that kind of service policy and the amazing design I am going to keep my pack...Thanks Gregory for another job well done! | |

| Bought this pack for a 107 mile no resupply hike carrying almost 80 pounds. This pack performed extremely well overall. Construction, comfort and features are top notch. I did however return the pack for the Gregory Baltoro because the Whitney frame as I read on other reviews squeks. The frame make a metal wrenching sound with every step. It was tolerable but I expect more from Gregory and at this price point. If I experience the same issue with the Baltoro I will probably switch to Osprey brand packs. My friend on the same hike had the Argon 85 and it performed well with no complaints. | |

| I loved this pack. I took it on a 12 day backpacking trip and it worked great. I had no problems. I learned how to adjust it and work the straps and it was perfect. I had plenty of room and it was easily adjustable while hiking. The only real problem i had with it was that one of the zippers broke off, but it didn't really mess up anything at all. This pack is great for long hikes and i like the look of it too. I recommend this pack to anyone who is serious about backpacking, and anyone that goes on long hikes. | |

With large capacity, multiple pockets(that are an organization freaks DREAM), and 5 access points to the main compartment it has it all. I have taken it on one 5 day, 35 mile hike with 45 lbs and it was underpacked. I wished i had taken more weight. I swear by Gregory and they continue to impress me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PACK.

| It's really well made with tons of access points and features. It feels really great around the waist and has a ridiculous amount of space. If you're a real hiker who needs to bring the pots and pans, a tarp, a stove, sleeping bag, sleeping bag, etc, you need a large pack and this is one of the largest at 5800 cubic inches (M). | |

Maybe OK for backpacking | |
| Rating: |  |
| I'm a mountaineer and bought this pack because of its size and the Gregory reputation. I DO NOT, however, recommend this pack for mountaineering. It has too many compartments, which add weight and interfere with dense packing. I'm considering cutting out all of the interior mesh subdividers that are absolutely useless. It's also not all that durable - very dull crampons punched a hole through the pack with very little pressure, and the water bottle holder on the left side of the pack is made with an absurdly delicate fabric that got damaged by snow pickets in no time at all. This may be a good pack for backpackers who don't need much in terms of performance other than the ability to haul a load (it's fine for that), but it was not up to the task for rugged use. | |

Despite great design, breaks easily | |
| Rating: | |
| As with many of the reviewers, I had a relatively positive experience with the Whitney 95. I used it on an 80 day backpacking and mountaineering expedition. It was comfortable, easy to pack and had plenty of room for our 10 day ration periods. However, very soon in to the trip (4-6 days), the plastic molding holding the form-fit hip belt began to crack. Eventually, after several more days of hiking, the plastic on both sides severed entirely. Luckily the hip belt held and was manageable, albeit uncomfortable. It was very disappointing to see an otherwise perfect pack deteriorate at such a pivotal point. I have exchanged it and hope that it was a manufacturing defect and my new one holds up a little better. | |

Not typical Gregory quality | |
| Rating: | |
| I just returned from a 40 day backpacking/mountaineering trip and this pack DID NOT live up to the Gregory name. Within the first 10 days, I was sewing this pack back together. On the trip as a whole, three Whitney's went out, and they were all returned to REI. Two of them had stitches in them fixing blowouts. The third pack had its hip belt completely break away from the pack, leaving someone carrying a 85 pound pack all on his shoulders. In short, buy the older versions of the Whitney. The new one is far from durable and did not make it even ten days before blowing out. Out of three packs, all three failed and were returned. | |

"the velcro hold-ons on the back of the pack dont work" | |
| Rating: | |
| every other pack on the market uses buckles to hold tools on to the back of their packs. the exception is Gregory - they use 2 small stips of velcro on each side. velcro doesnt hold ice tools, snow shovels or trekking poles to the back of the pack - in fac it hold nothing. as you walk the velcro keeps coming undone and your tools fall off. you get the constant aggravation of picking up your stuff off the ground or having it swing and dangle behind you as you walk. not much fun. these are now made in China - who thought of using velcro on a $399 pack? | |
| Ron at Moosejaw on 09/22/2009 | |
poor engineering using velcro tool ice axe cli | |
| Rating: | |
the ice axe and tool loops at the botton of the pack are fine, but Gregory uses velcro-ed straps now rather than buckle straps to attach the ice axe / tool handle to the pack's back. The veclro simply doesnt work. your tools and ice axe HANDLES will eventually come undone (this happened to me) and dangle in the back of the pack. NOT good if your climbing in the Andes like I was. | |

| This bag is not worth your money. Within 2 weeks of a 7 week trip my hip belt had cracked. By the end of the trip every single Gregory pack (4 Whitney's and 8 Diva's) had a broken hip belt. Granted we were carrying 10 days worth of food at time, other brands of bags on the trip held up fine. This bag might be worth it if you are carrying less than 40 lbs and only going on weekend trips. I would not recommend it for heavy loads or extended trips. | |

| I took this backpack on a two week backpacking trip. On the fourth day, I discovered that the plastic inside the hipstrap had broken. For the rest of the trip, I carried fifty pounds on my shoulders. One of the zipper pulls also came off a few days later and the seam on the left water bottle holder broke. My friend's backpack (also the Gregory Whitney 95) broke in the exact same places. | |

I never actually used this pack, but my friend did on 20 trip to the Wind Rivers. The hipbelt on his back broke in each side where some plastic attaches it to the frame. Major gear failure. Luckily enough was still attached for us to finish the trip, but we could have easily been SOL. | |

Only cosmetic changes. | |
| Rating: |  |
| I was highly anticipating this pack. Sadly Gregory didn't listen to the complaints of users. The new model of this Gregory has only seen cosmetics adjustments. Is a bit lighter and more streamlined. The strap over-kill has been scaled down to standard configurations, thank god. But Gregory just ignored all the major problems of the old model and did nothing to fix them. The suspension still squeaks as you walk. Very annoying. How can Gregory make such a great suspension, but not find a way to stop the squeaking!!! Then there are the absolutely annoying side pockets. This was the most common complaint about the older pack. And Gregory did nothing to fix it! It's nice to have access through the side, but Gregory has only half-sized mesh separating the pockets from the main compartment. As a result items from the main compartment fall into the pockets, making the side access useless. WHY? WHY? WHY? How hard is it to put a full size mesh or some other garment and really section off the pockets with a zipper. What are Gregory's designers thinking? Did they try to save 2 ounces of weight by having half mesh? This is one mysterious design flow I'd love to have explained to me. I also hate Gregory's over creative water bottle design and the relatively narrow front pocket. Maybe they'll get it next time. See you in 2011. | |
