Great pack, could be better.
I enjoy this bag. It was easy to pack/unpack, it felt great on the trail (most if not all weight on my hips). The pockets and waterbottle holder make sense. I had a spot for my camelback bladder which was great. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I had it right next to the older version of the pack. The one that came standard with a rain cover and small (separate) day pack inside. The overall construction of the bag was mostly the same except the fact that it no longer stands up on it's own when set down on the trail. This is it's major downfall. I tried re-packing my sleeping stuf in the bottom to make it work, and it just doesnt stand on it's own anymore. Not sure what was changed to make this a worse bag, but I think you may want to consider some of the features the bag used to have and make a new hybrid of the two with all things considered. I think a few things got missed this time around. Overall, great pack, but could be better for the price.

Super comfortable, but still room to improve...
This is the most comfortable pack I've worn in almost 30 years of backpacking. Love the cushy fit with real padding on the hip belt and shoulder harness. If you have to carry heavier loads, the Baltoros are the way to go. The grippy silicone accents on the bottom of the lumbar area should be made standard on all Gregory packs, it helps keep the pack from sliding down really well. The Polygiene is also a game-changer for keeping that trail smell off when you get home. I like the clean design free of stitching/thread on the outside of the pack, and the Alaska Blue color is gorgeous, wish they'd offer that in all their packs. The fabric has held up well without being too heavy, though Gregory needs to stop with the hard parts of the frame at the bottom sides of the pack, covered in a heavier duty material. Though it is thicker there, mine is showing wear and will eventually fail. I see this on a lot of their models (I own 3). Other improvements should be to get rid of the fold out water bottle holder and put another stretch mesh pocket on the side (that is easy to access with pack on). Many of us don't use Nalgene for backpacking anymore, and dedicating a whole side to such a limited use pocket really kills the space. Also on that note, Gregory's stretch mesh should be a better, tighter weave. The current stuff does not inspire confidence. Access and organization on this pack are another huge plus, with plenty of space to separate things on, and still get to them. It's not the lightest pack out there, but given its capacity and how well it carries, it's actually not too bad. And you can strip it a bit without the lid and dividers to get down closer to 4 lbs, which isn't bad at all. All in all I love it, but just wish Gregory would improve those few things soon before I might need another.

Solid travel bag. Needs bigger zippers.
The pack has allot of good features to it that I love but I feel like it could use some simple tweaks to it. My zipper in the large compartment busted on the first day in France. For sure needs to have bigger zippers considering how much you are able to pack into it. Thankfully with a few YouTube videos and some tools I was able to make it work again. The storage size was nice but having a few more little small ones would be nice. Having the top flap able to disconnect quickly would be nice to make it less clumsy.

Great Pack
This was the first time I upgraded my pack in a long time. I was looking for one with thick and comfortable waist straps, as well as had enough storage for a multi-day hike. I decided to "break it in" on a day hike, but loaded it up with weight and gear to see how it would handle. I was very pleased with the results! Handled well, stayed snug to my body and the storage compartments were perfectly placed. Other additional things that I really like were the easy access water bottle holder on the side, and the zipper "covers" to help prevent any rain/moisture from getting into the bag. Would highly recommend!

Should Have Been Able To Have Given 5 Stars
I previously had a Baltoro 75 which I liked, but it had some shortcomings in the adjustability of the pack length and other items. Glad to see they took care of the previous issues. But they created a new one. They no longer include the waterproof cover with these bags like they did with the last model. I guess shame on me for not making sure it was included like the first bag I bought and shame on Wanderlust Outfitters for not informing me.

Great product
Took this on a 5 day Yosemite hiking trip. Fit everything I needed and held up well to the rough conditions - and poor treatment from tossing it around - great durability and reliability!

Excellent pack
This is my 3rd Baltoro 65. My kids keep stealing them as the get big enough. Love the new upgrades. Could be lighter, but so could I.

3rd Gregory
I have been an avid camper forever. I was using a Gregory 45 but needed an upgrade for a 2 week adventure in the desert. Well made and very comfortable. So far everything has been great. Better fit than my 45 but I can’t wear it while riding my mountain bike. The only thing I cannot understand is why my 45 came with a built in rain cover and the 65 doesn’t. I initially purchased the osprey but my wife and daughter have them and the “osprey creak” when you walk drove me nuts.

Great pack!
When you forget you are wearing a pack, then someone has done something right! The suspension system on this pack is phenomenal. The number of pockets is perfect as it allows the user to get a system in place and access what is needed at a particular time at any time. This pack is great for anyone who will be carrying heavier loads for longer amounts of time. Just make sure you look carefully at the sizing options.

I am 6'-4" with a 23" torso. I know some manufacturer's packs will allow one to extend the torso length beyond the specs. Can the Baltoro 65L be successfully extended to 23" and still function properly?

What is different between the current version of the Baltoro and the 2020 model?
June 18, 2022
I have the old baltoro as a large and it is just a little too big, should I get the medium or get the large again since it looks like this pack is “more” adjustable? My torso length is about 20 inches
