NEW ADVENTURE SERIES

We've introduced our 2002 Adventure Series models, and boy are we excited. Not only did we change the styling and colors, but we also lightened every model by up to a full pound. How did we do this? New high-tech 7075 T6 stays, our 210d "double box" Arrowhead fabric, 3/4" Easy Access buckles and webbing, and a canted water bottle holder. According to the Leisure Trends Group, Gregory's Adventure Series models are far and away some of the best selling backpacking packs in their class in the country.

FLUID N.R.G. SERIES(tm)

The age-old problem of hauling water over long distances has engendered some creative solutions. We at Gregory are proud to introduce ours. Fluid N.R.G. (say "energy") is the synthesis of 25 years of pack-making experience and one month of looking at the competition and saying, "Heck, we can do better than that!" These packs are streamlined and abrasion-resistant. Nimble suspension systems adjust to different body shapes and sizes and won't hinder movement. A fold-out Tool Box(tm) organizer holds tire irons, energy bars, or whatever stuff you choose. One of the bottle packs even has a padded pouch for CD, MP3, and tape players. Reservoir packs come with one of two reservoir sizes - 70 or 128 ounces - both with unique roll-down closures that dry and fill up easily, even with ice cubes or powdered mixes. The Reservoir 128 even has a threaded spout thatıs compatible with most water filters. Sound pretty cool? It ought to. Fluid N.R.G. packs are built for what you do. And theyıll help you do it better.

APPROACH SERIES TECHNICAL DAY PACKS

At Gregory, small packs benefit from the trickle down effect of the technological innovations perfected in our larger packs.

Our all new Approach Series packs sport loads of great features. A sturdy framesheet, supportive, ventilated shoulder harness with sternum strap, AeroTech(tm) mesh padding, and an integrated waist belt mean that these packs will comfortably carry whatever you load them with, be it books, climbing gear, or water and a huge lunch for your all-day hike. These aren't wimpy like most day packs. They include all of the features, fit, and innovation Gregory is known for.

NEW ACCUCASE(tm) FINISHES AND COLORS

AccuCase(tm) products are crush resistant and stylish. Each case is custom molded to identify its use - from sunglasses to cameras, GPS's to binoculars, and more. Our patented design combines the toughness of ballistic nylon weave nylon with the "hard knocks" protection of firm closed cell foam. We are now introducing several styles in even tougher DuraTech(tm). This fabric is virtually indestructible, and is offered in two very cool and stylish prints and colors: Titanium and Burgundy. AccuCase Cell Phone cases, Sunglasses cases, and PDA cases are now available in these new finishes.
