Gregory Paragon 68 Men's

The Gregory Paragon 68 tops out the men's Paragon line at 68 liters, built for longer multi-day trips with bulkier loads. The ventilated Aerolon back system rides on aluminum stays and offers an adjustable torso across a 46–56 cm range, with a hip belt sized for a 64–135 cm waist — a wider range than the smaller Paragon models. The shoulder straps are load-lifter equipped and backed by a chest strap. The body is durable 210D CryptoRip nylon, and the main compartment opens via a top lid or bottom zip, with a removable lid for when it isn't needed. There's a dedicated sleeping bag compartment, two side pockets and a front pocket in stretch mesh, hip belt pockets, and two ice axe loops — one more than the smaller Paragon models. At 1670 g for 68 liters, that's just under 25 g per liter, a solid figure given the pack's size. It suits men who need genuinely large capacity for multi-day treks along with maximum adjustability in the carry system.
