Gregory is a professional backpack manufacturer from the United States, offering backpacks in 10 different series. In 1977, Wayne Gregory founded the Gregory brand in San Diego, initially producing backpacks behind his house and selling them out front. In 1983, Wayne partnered with others and focused on developing new technologies himself, as the local environment was ideal for testing products and developing new ones. In recent years, the production facilities were moved entirely to Vietnam and China, while Wayne continued to passionately concentrate on design and quality.
Vibrant and eye-catching color combinations
The hallmark of Gregory backpacks is their motto: Fit is everything. To this end, they offer a variety of sizes as well as interchangeable shoulder straps and waist belts to ensure every user can find a backpack that suits them. The design of the carrying system is straightforward yet features many adjustable details, including shoulder width, back length, waist belt angle, and more. Additionally, the company produces models specifically for women, which is a boon for female hikers.
After personally using and trying on multiple backpacks, I found that Gregory offers one of the stiffer systems among commonly available backpacks. Those interested in trying a Gregory backpack should definitely experience one in person first.
