    • Gregory Verte 18 Backpack

    Gregory Verte 18 Backpack


    The Gregory Verte 18 was a late addition to this year’s Holiday Gift Guide, so we have not had a chance to really test it at the time of writing. However, this is one item I am really looking forward to doing a lot of testing with. There are two activities I think the Verte 18 is going excel at is sidecountry and shorter backcountry routes. 

    On the resort side the 16 liters is ample room to carry an extra layer or two of clothing, some lunch, and the side straps can synch it down even further to make it more lift friendly. And for the sidecountry it still has lots of room for shovel, probe, first aid kit, skins, some extra clothing and 1-liter hydro pack. This should also be ample supplies for non-technical days in the backcountry.

    Watch for the full resort and backcountry review this winter.
     

    Features:

    • Lightweight, blended recycled nylon ripstop fabric with PFC-free durable water-repellant coating.
    • Elasticized CloudControl hipbelt stretches to allow for uninhibited movement, but comfortably tensions to your body to provide support.
    • The CloudControl hipbelt is designed like a goggle strap to eliminate webbing tails, and the shoulder strap webbing is contained to avoid hang-ups on chairlift rides.
    • Insulated hydration harness sleeve with closed cell foam can help to keep hydration hoses from freezing.
    • Internal hydration sleeve with SpeedClip hydration hanger compatible with Gregory's Hydro reservoirs (reservoir not included).
    • Snow shedding molded backpanel efficiently clears snow that can build up between you and the pack minimizing moisture build up.
    • A full-length zipper with side gussets gives easy access to items at the bottom of your pack while keeping everything contained and protected.
    • Side zippered pocket provides secure storage and is designed for easy access while riding a chairlift.
    • Top zippered stash pocket for easy access to smaller items.
    • Top and bottom compression with cam-locking buckles on top for secure ski/snowboard attachment.
    • Ski and Snowboard carry system provides diagonal carry, a-Frame and front snowboard options.
    • Front carry system can also be used to carry snowshoes.
    • Padded front pocket provides added durability and storage for all avalanche rescue gear.
    • Glove-friendly zipper pulls and buckles.
