Gregory Paragon
Best lightweight pack for long-distance backpackers and thru-hikers.
This pack masterfully balances long-haul comfort with a surprisingly nimble feel, thanks to a suspension system that actually moves with your body. You sacrifice the rugged, heavy-duty durability of expedition-grade haulers, but you gain a lightweight, ventilated companion that makes high-mileage days feel significantly less punishing.
