Gregory Advent Pro Backpack:
A Lightweight Option for Trail Runners

An annual bestseller, the Gregory Advent Pro backpack is an ultralight model popular among adventure trail runners and anyone searching for a lightweight option for hiking the wilderness.

The Advent Pro combines pack stability with good organization so the focus stays on the terrain, not on how your gear rides. The Wraptor Stabilizer technology helps transfer the bag's weight over a wider area for a more snug and equal body distribution that limits pack bounce. Plus, Gregory packs also use waterproof materials and zips to prevent wet gear.

A top-loader with a large front-panel, the Gregory Advent Pro backpack gives you two ways to grab and store gear without fumbling through the whole load. The AeroTech mesh harness and hipbelt has a ventilated molded foam back panel to move out moisture.

Keep your essential items close at hand in the hipbelt and zip front pockets to stash away maps, GPS and energy bars for staying on track to compete with the competition. Stretch-mesh front and side pockets hold your helmet, sandals and other bulky gear.

Never worry about running out of water as the Advent Pro has dual hydration ports with large reservoir capacity. If you need to carry technical tools, the pack has dual ice axe and trekking pole loops and a side lashing system to cinch down your extra gear.

The pack is designed to position the load higher on your back with a canted bottom that prevents sag and allows for an overall better carry. While the majority of users rated the Gregory Advent Pro backpack very high, a few complained of the lack of back support and no load lifter straps to prevent flopping when trail running.

Plenty of space for climbing gear, extra clothing, food and trail shoes, with easy to use mesh pockets and straps.
