4. Gregory Baltoro 65 Backpack
The Baltoro from Gregory comes in a variety of sizes for men, and the Deva is a version that has been made specifically for the female hiker’s frame.
Both of these options were awarded the 2015 Editors’ Choice Gold Award from Backpacker.
This backpack is one of the most expensive of the bunch with a price range of approximately $260 to $300, but it has many features to help justify this price point. For example, the Baltoro 65 comes with a wishbone frame, ventilated center chamber, customizable lumbar contouring and a response A3 suspension.
