Gregory Paragon 38

Light hiking backpack with well thought-out and practically placed details. With innovative hybrid carrying system, free-floating and breathable. Ideal for trekking and hiking tours. With rain covers and hydration pack compatible.

Like all Gregory backpacks, the Paragon 38 from Gregory is a minimalist that relies on robust outer fabric and well thought-out features - and dispenses with unnecessary bells and whistles. The innovative carrying system, which allows you to move freely and the backpack virtually floats independently, transfers the load evenly to the lower back. The hybrid suspension system combines a free-floating system for the lower back with a breathable padding system for the upper back. This unique combi combines the best of both worlds: A super-comfortable lower back comfort cradle system with patent-pending FreeFloat hip belt technology and the close-fitting 3D foam upper back panel. The back minimizes contact, saving you energy by keeping most of the pack weight close to your back. The light aluminum frame in combination with a fiberglass cross brace also keeps the weight close to the back and is directly connected to the FreeFloat suspension. There are practical loops on the toploader lid to which you can easily attach your gear. The backpack itself has a separate bottom compartment where you can stow your sleeping bag. The main compartment is easily accessible from the side thanks to a full-length side zipper. The rain covers are already included in the extra zippered compartment, which can of course also be used for other purposes. You can quickly and securely stow your sunglasses in the holder on the shoulder strap and there are also zip pockets on the hip fins. There are also side mesh pockets and an oversized front mesh pocket as well as an adjustable attachment loop for trekking poles or an ice picks. The Paragon 38 and you - you'll make a great team on your next hiking tour!
