Gregory Lassen (2001):
Gregory's Adventure series packs offer backpackers and recreational hikers fewer technical features in a value-oriented package. Shop around and compare with similar-sized packs and features, and you'll quickly realize that packs like the Lassen are the right stuff for people who like to get away without draining their budget. Like the top-of-the-line packs in the Gregory Professional series, the Lassen offers quality adjustment features like the Auto-Cant shoulder harness system and the Adjust-A-Cant waistbelt (with three settings). Other features include a Foam-X floating frame sheet for lightweight load support, a load transfer belt stiffener for shifting load weight to your hips, an enlarged occipital cutout for head clearance, a sculpted Flo-Form® II shoulder harness, an Aerotech mesh back panel for ventilation and adjustable shoulder, hip and sternum stabilizer straps for precision customization. The top pocket features lash points and converts to a fanny pack with a 2-inch wide waist belt. A sleeping bag stash compartment features a large hoop door for quick and easy access. Side mesh pockets allow quick access to water bottles and tent poles.
