Great backpack for the money. I enjoy the videos of the product. The video by Luke on this backpack was my deciding factor.

Great Product
Likes
I had looked at this product in person at my local REI shop and loved the fit and adjustability of it, given my larger frame size. I could not find a pack that equaled the comfort with the carrying capacity of this product. This combined with the great price offered by Back Country Edge made it an easy choice to purchase it from you.

This is a wonderful backpack and performed better than expected. No problems!
Likes
It was comfortable and easy to get on and off. It had all the compartments I needed and was easy to pack and easy to get to the items in the pouches while hiking.Overall, I am very happy with it.
Dislikes
Nothing, really, but if I would change anything, I think I would put some color accents on it to make it look a little better and be able to differentiate it from all the other black backpacks...ie, zippers, drawstrings, etc. It would make it more convenient to find when looking for it in the dark/poor light conditions. A nice looking logo would help.

Nice pack with lots of features
Likes
Roomy, compactable, great looking, relatively light, comfortable. Tons of access zippers and pockets.
Dislikes
Would like to see a secure inside pocket for valuables and nonslip material on the base. Seems like the pack will not always stand up straight. Back panel has cooling mesh but does not stop sweating.

It fits snuggly, and the fact that it included a day pack and rain cover is an awesome bonus.

Waterproof pouch is a little small.

Most comfortable freighter out there

Gregory builds packs that just work right: the fit, durability, and features are all are spot on. I don't like carrying heavy loads, but when I have to, this pack gets it done in comfort. It has massive capacity, a great pocket layout, a water bottle holder that I can reach without removing the pack, and a firm, highly adjustable suspension that doesn't bottom out under heavy loads, and feels incredible under light loads.
Dislikes
No. I have nit-picks with every other piece of outdoor gear I own, but not this pack. It's as close to perfect as any gear I've ever owned.

Plenty of space for any activity. I do ~10 day or so trips in the bush and use this pack happily. It is also great for traveling abroad where extra bags are a hassel and $$.
Likes
I like the sleeping bag compartment, it makes life much easier. The day pack is a nice feature -not good for anything more than hydration pack and snacks, but thats all you need for single day excursions.
Dislikes
Have not have enough time with bag to know what I dislike. I will be tapping maple trees in a few days (3 nights camping) so we’ll see how it handles the gear.

Great pack with a focus on comfort
Likes
Great pack. I just purchased the Baltoro with plans on using it for a week long high altitude hiking trip. Before that trip I've used it for several day trips to figure out the mechanics and padding of the pack. I'm accustomed to military issued packs designed to be indestructible, bulky, and heavy. Baltoro is the first "civilian" pack I've purchased, and I was really surprised that they focused on comfort and how to distribute weight across the hips and core first, then the convenience of packing followed. And, all the bros complemented on the aesthetics of the pack, which is of course rule number one... Look cool. Final thought, I also got a free T-shirt ordering from this site. A nice one too. One that I won't use to wash the car. Summary; Sweet pack, check, free tee, check, support the small business, check. All of that smells like the American dream to me. Fist bump.
Dislikes
If you're an ultralight hiker then this probably isn't for you. It's a little on the heavier side when weight of packs are considered. But, if you're that type of person that is picky about a pound here and there sacrificing padding, you probably don’t have a mortgage, and eat avocados smeared on toast every morning, and considering an 80L pack is an abomination. So, I compare the Baltoro to a Cadillac. It’s a little on the heavier side when weight is considered, but it is comfortable and smooth like an old caddie. Mic drop.

Used it to go backpacking in CO in January
Likes
1. Super comfortable, especially going uphill off trail. 2. Very roomy, everything needed for a 3 day hike took up about 65% of the volume available.

I love this bag
Likes
This is one of the best gregory backpacks. After watching the video on backcountry edge, I purchased it for my trip to the Himalayas. Did the Annapurna circuit for 2 weeks and it was amazing, the weight distribution doesn't make it heavy as I thought. Easy access to items such as sleeping bag and small compartments on top load. I'd recommend getting this.

None I can think of so far!
