The Gregory Kalmia 50 is a women's multi-day pack with 50 liters of capacity and a simpler internal frame. The ventilated FreeFloat 360 back panel and adjustable torso length allow the fit to be fine-tuned, while nine pockets — including a SideWinder bottle holster — give it unusually generous load organization for this volume class.
At 1.98 kg for 50 liters, that's about 40 g per liter — the highest figure among the women's packs in this group, meaning a less efficient volume-to-weight ratio despite the lack of aluminum stays. The body is 210D/420D high-density recycled nylon with PFC-free DWR treatment. The main compartment opens from the top or the bottom; there's no integrated rain cover.
The Kalmia 50 suits hikers who prioritize pocket count and easy access over shaving pack weight — typically multi-day trips involving frequent reaching for small items without taking the pack off.
