From the start, Wayne wasn't just meticulous about designing packs that improved fit and used the best materials available, he also wanted to know how his designs worked in the field and what he could do better. Ultimately, he realized that in the backpack business fit was king, and he pioneered many firsts, including; being the first to build backpacks in different frame, harness and waist belt sizes; the first (and still only) pack manufacturer to develop a waistbelt system that adjusts to different hip angles; and developing the center-locking bar tack. From the earliest days, Gregory packs were noted for innovative design, ergonomic and comfortable fit, and our obsession with quality, comfort and durability continues today.
