Gregory Whitney 95 Backpack
The Gregory Whitney 95 Backpack is a massive backpack.
It will haul as much gear as you could need in the back country. It will pack enough for those week-long trips.
Again, the Gregory Whitney 95 is a quality professional grade backpack with great reviews.
It can also give you a great fit. The Gregory Response CFS suspension system has five points of adjustment. Thus, you can make precise adjustments very easily to get just the right fit. It too, responds and moves with your actions whether walking or climbing. This helps eliminate rubbing and chaffing contact points.
It has top, side, front, and bottom access. You don’t ever have to unload the whole pack to get at something. Just open an access point. It has numerous pockets to help organize your contents.
As one review summarized: “The Gregory Whitney 95 is for the big loads.”
We have this pack listed because it, like the other reviewed packs, is a quality professional grade backpack that any hiker would be proud to own.

Gregory Whitney 95 Owner Reviews Detail Post
Great long distance pack

I had the Gregory Whitney 95 loaded with 70+ lbs. for every step of the AT in 2009. I loved it. It was incredibly comfortable and easy to carry.
I did have trouble with the side pocket zippers blowing-out early on, but that was an easy fix.
That season, just about everyone with a Gregory pack had hip belt failures and I was no different. I replaced my hip belt at Damascus with an older model which took me almost all of the rest of the way to Katahdin. After 1800 miles, a couple of the seams near the top of the pack began to fail, but then again I was hauling 70 lbs. everyday.
All in all, the Gregory Whitney 95 is a great pack with some easy/cheap fixes. I just can’t bring myself to have mine replaced yet.
Comfortable, monster-sized pack.

I’m pretty pleased with my Gregory Whitney 95 pack so far. Although I haven’t done a ton of trips with it, its definitely seen a fair share of use/abuse as it doubles as my suitcase from time to time.
Still, I recently completed a six day/50mile trip through the Great Smoky Mountains through the backcountry and along the AT. I probably had 60lbs+ on my back at the beginning of the trip (yeah, I overpacked) but the load never really felt heavy to my 185lbs.
The CFS suspension system on the Gregory Whitney 95 is awesome, and offers more adjustment and denser padding than other packs I’ve looked at.
And although normally I’m not a huge organization freak, it was really nice to have so many different access points on this pack to compartmentalize my food, rain gear, etc. I never had to pull a bunch of crap out to get at what I needed, which was nice for sure.
Still, my only complaint is that after six days of walking the minimal waterproofing laminate on the lower pocket was worn off from my cookset rubbing against it. No worries though, I have the rain cover for the pack so it stayed dry even in the rain.
Overall, I would recommend the Gregory Whitney 95 to anyone that wants to go on week long+ adventures and isn’t a minimalist freak. If you’re strong hiker, and like a comfortable organized pack, look no further than the Gregory Whitney 95 backpack, you won’t be disappointed.
