I didn’t think any backpack could ever fit me comfortably, until I strapped on an Escape-series pack. Within the first half-mile of my hike in Vermont’s Green Mountains, I was eagerly cramming my partners’ loads into my bag. The secret is Gregory’s Response Suspension System, which incorporates auto-adjusting shoulder straps and an independently pivoting hip belt that allow body and pack to move auto-nomously. Unlocked from my swaying skeleton, the load stayed balanced, shifting with me instead of fighting me—and leaving me with energy to spare at the end of the day.
