About this product
The Gregory Paragon 60 is a 60-liter backpacking pack built for multi-day trail use, available in Cascade Green and offered in two sizes. The Small/Medium weighs 1.59 kg while the Medium/Large comes in at 1.68 kg, with torso lengths of 72 cm and 76 cm respectively. A perimeter alloy frame paired with a fiberglass anti-barreling cross-stay handles load management, while the FreeFloat suspension and AirCushion mesh back panel keep the carry breathable and comfortable. The 3D Comfort Cradle hipbelt, which fits waist circumferences from 63.5 cm to 134.5 cm depending on size, pivots with each stride to aid balance on uneven terrain. Organization is thorough: a full-length side-loading zipper, a floating top pocket with key clip, a zippered sleeping bag compartment with removable divider, dual side stretch mesh pockets, a shoulder strap pocket, and an internal hydration sleeve with SpeedClip hanger (reservoir sold separately). The shell is 210-denier nylon with 300-denier recycled ripstop nylon panels, finished with a PFAS-free DWR coating. Maximum recommended load is 23 kg.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Gregory Paragon 60 for its exceptional comfort, calling it one of the most comfortable packs in its class. The padded hip belt, cushioned shoulder straps, and suspended mesh back panel are frequently highlighted for excellent load transfer and breathability. The adjustable torso length and hip belt earn consistent praise for enabling a precise, customizable fit across different body types. Multiple access points, including a full-length side zipper and sleeping bag hatch, are appreciated for trail convenience. The most common criticism is weight: at around 3.5 lbs, it is considered too heavy for ultralight-minded hikers. Reviewers also flag limited weather resistance as a drawback, noting the pack lacks robust waterproofing for wet conditions.
