Overview: Wayne Gregory designed his first backpack as part of a Boy Scout project at age 14. Intrigued with new directions in soft packs and internal frame concepts he decided it was time to get back to his first love, designing backpacks, and in 1977 Wayne founded Gregory Mountain Products in San Diego, California.

What Makes It Unique: The adjustable VersaFit suspension allows it to adjust across a wide range of small-framed users. Designed for ages 10 through 18, but made as durable as a Gregory adult pack. The Gregory Wander 70 is a comfortable, durable, and lightweight heavy-load hauler made for extended stays in the backcountry.
