Gregory Paragon 50 trekkingrugzak (S/M) - Graphite Blue

When the trail stretches for days and every gram counts, the Gregory Paragon 50 keeps you moving with a pack that carries heavy loads without weighing you down. This S/M size fits shorter torsos (40.6 - 48.3 cm) and delivers a 50-liter capacity that swallows gear for multi-day treks, while the FreeFloat Dynamic Suspension lets your body move naturally over rough terrain.

Who is it for

Backpackers and thru-hikers who need a durable, adjustable pack that can handle up to 18.1 kg (40 lbs) of gear. The men's-specific fit, ventilated back panel, and removable daypack make it ideal for long weekends or week-long adventures where versatility and comfort are non-negotiable.

Tips

Before your first trip, adjust the torso length and hipbelt to your body, then load the pack with your heaviest items close to your back and centered between your shoulder blades. Use the removable daypack for summit pushes or as a hydration carrier on hot days. When rain threatens, the dedicated rain cover deploys in seconds and packs away just as fast.
