Description

The versatile Paragon 48 backpack employs an innovative suspension system that allows it to comfortably carry up to 40 pounds and stow 2929 cubic inches of gear at a weight well below that of its load-hauling peers. Adding value and functionality, Enwild includes a 3D Hydro Reservoir.

Equipped with Gregory’s Aerolon suspension system, the pack employs an ultra-lightweight hollow 7001 aluminum frame and a mesh-encased, die-cut foam backpanel to offer excellent load stabilization and ventilated performance. Adjustability in the harness allows you to customize fit. Load lifter straps and an adjustable sternum strap further enhance fit and ensure stability. Siliconized padding in the lumbar portion of the pack increases comfort and aids in load transfer. To ensure a customized fit, the pack is available in Small/Medium (fits torso sizes ranging from 15”-19”) and Medium/Large (18”-22”) size options.

The top-loading main compartment of the pack has an extendible drawstring closure. A zippered front entry allows access to a separate, lower sleeping bag compartment. A large front stuff pocket provides a place to keep discarded layers or other gear easily accessible. Zippered lid pockets and zippered hipbelt pockets offer additional organizational options. Side compression straps allow you to cinch down the packbag to keep the contents of the pack stabilized and they double as external lash points.

Other features include large side stretch water bottle pockets, trekking pole attachments, a front harness quick-stow feature for sunglasses, and an included raincover. An integrated sleeve and exit port make the pack hydration compatible (3D Hydro Reservoir included).

The Gregory Paragon 48 internal frame backpack is available in your choice of size and color options.

My Favorite all around bag

Likes

I currently have a Kelty Coyote 65, which is a bit large for my purposes and heavy. This bag is the perfect replacement for me. The foam padding and lumbar support feel great on my back and is good for people with more curvature in their back than normal. Shoulder straps are very comfortable. Even though this is a 48L, the main compartment is the same size as my Kelty. More than enough space to go on a multi-day hike, even if not all of your gear is bulky (I'm including a 5.5 lb tent in the main compartment, and I'm not even close to all the way full). Overall a really solid bag and can comfortably hold 40 lbs.

Dislikes

Only two negatives, but not enough to take this off a five star: 1. Hip Belt pockets are back a little bit, and 2. the sleeping pad straps are not removable. The Zulu 55 and Paragon 58 I was also considering both had removable sleeping pad straps.
