Gregory Deva 60 Litre Women’s Hiking Backpack – earlier model

The Gregory Deva 60 Litre Women’s Backpacks slim profile and adaptive, womens-specific Response A3W Suspension keep you moving in tight, technical terrain, making it the choice womens backpack for gear-intensive overnights in the high alpine or longer stays with a minimalist philosophy.

Selecting the right size Gregory Pack

Taking just a few minutes to accurately measure sizing will yield the best fitting pack possible. Follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Find the Iliac crest (the top of the hip bone)

2. Find the C7 Vertebra (the largest bump at the base of your neck)

3. Measure from the C7 down along the spine to where it intersects with the Iliac Crest. Use the table below to then determine your Gregory Pack Size.

Gregory Deva and Baltoro: Backpacker’s Editor’s Choice Award, 2015

“Sometimes we cringe when a company announces a complete overhaul of a product we already love. Weve seen some redesigns go in the wrong direction. But Gregory managed a tricky feat: preserving the essential DNA of the original, while improving every detail. The Baltoros organization makes it easy to live out of on weeklong trips, and it has some features wed like to see on every packlike a waterproof hipbelt pocket that fits a smartphone and a clever hydration sleeve that converts into a daypack. No need to think about it, you always have a summit pack with the capacity and comfort for shoulder-season, full-day hikes, says one tester. Its easy to get bottles in and out of the angled water bottle pocket without awkward contortions or enlisting a friend (though bottles can fall out if you bend all the way over; cinch the drawstring to secure them). Since 2008, weve loved the Baltoros carry-anything dynamic suspension, which subdues big loads with uncommon comfort. The well-padded hipbelt wraps wide around my hips, says a tester. Hiking into the John Muir Wilderness in November, I loaded this guy with 48 pounds of cold-weather gear and group food, and felt good the whole hike inmy hips werent even sore the next day. Bottom line: At more than 5 pounds its a Cadillac, not a Ferrari, but for hikers who want a big-trip, big-comfort pack thatll last for years, the extra ounces are worth it. The Baltoro is available in 65-, 75-, and 85-liter models. Deva, the womens version, comes in 60, 70, and 80.”
