Gregory is an American brand founded in 1977 by Wayne Gregory from the beginning specializing in the production of hiking backpacks and trekking bags. Already at the age of 14, Wayne designed his first backpack, and in 1970 he released models equipped with an external frame. Today, Gregory Mountains Product, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, ranks high among backpack manufacturers by creating optimally functional, comfortable and reliable models.
The brand bases its business on the philosophy that: properly designed backpacks should be used, not carried on the go. Hence, Gregory strongly focuses on creating high-quality backpacks and bags, properly sized for the geometry of men and women, so they provide a comfortable fit and performance on the trail. Each idea is first extensively tested by engineers and only when it is finally perfected is it released to the market. The brand is so confident in its products that it gives them a lifetime warranty.
This unique Gregory approach to manufactured products and innovative technologies has resulted in multiple awards for such backpack models as Zulu, Tribute, Jade, Kalmia and Katmai. What do the American brand's hiking and urban backpacks offer? A fully adjustable torso length with wishbone frame suspension and cut-out shoulder straps, a compartment with an active shield that resists steam, dirt and odors, a perforated, breathable back panel with a wrap-around hip belt, a Gear Guard carrying system specially tailored to the female anatomy or a 3-in-1 briefing, rain and anti-theft cover. Noteworthy are innovative technologies like 3D Hydro Trek, BioSync, Fushion Flex Suspension, Versa Fit and Aerolon.
