FAQs About Buying Gregory Online
1) Why is Gregory more expensive than other brands? Is it worth it?
Yes — the value lies in its carry system and durability. Gregory’s ergonomic design, especially in hiking series, transfers weight from the shoulders to the hips, offering exceptional comfort during long treks.
2) Can the classic Day Pack fit a 15” or 16” laptop?
Yes, though note that it doesn’t have a padded laptop compartment. If you need better protection, consider the Sketch or Border series, which include built-in padded laptop sleeves.
3) Is Gregory suitable for women? Are there women-specific models?
Absolutely. Gregory’s women’s lines — such as Deva (trekking) and Jade (lightweight hiking) — are designed to contour to female body shapes for enhanced comfort.
