RidgeNote verdict

When the load is heavy and the trip is long, the Baltoro is the pack that carries it without punishing you. Gregory FreeFloat suspension actually pivots with your stride, which matters most exactly when other packs start to feel like a rigid box on your back. This is not an ultralight pack and never pretends to be - at over four and a half pounds it is built for comfort and durability under 35-plus-pound loads, not for gram-counters. For thru-hike resupply hauls, week-long trips, and anyone who values a dialed carry over a light one, it earns its keep.
