Gregory Arrio Hiking Backpack – Spark Navy, 24L
On the hunt for a hiking backpack that strikes the perfect balance between lightweight ease and clever features? The Gregory Arrio in Spark Navy is right up your street. Ideal for day hikes when you want to carry the essentials without feeling weighed down, this pack tips the scales at just 0.76 kg and offers a handy 24 litres of space. It’s light enough to keep you moving swiftly, yet roomy enough for all your kit.
Breathable comfort as you go
One thing that really sets this pack apart is the FreeSpan suspended mesh back panel. It’s a clever design that keeps your back cool and dry, even when the sun’s out and the going gets tough. The shoulder harness is perforated and breathable, too, with integrated hydration routing so you can slot in a hydration bladder and sip on the move – no need to pause and faff about. Plus, the sternum strap has a built-in safety whistle, a neat touch that gives you a bit of extra peace of mind when you’re off the beaten track.
Smart storage that’s easy to get to
The Arrio is top-loading with a drawstring closure, making access quick and simple. It’s got a range of pockets to keep your bits and bobs organised: a zippered top pocket for those quick-grab items, stretchy side mesh pockets perfect for a water bottle or snacks, and a swing-around side zip pocket complete with a key clip. There’s even a front vertical zip pocket for stashing essentials you want to keep separate and handy.
Practical extras for your adventures
Adjustability is key with this pack – the removable webbing hipbelt helps shift some of the weight off your shoulders, making it easier on your back. There are loops for attaching trekking poles or ice axes, and a reflective front buckle to keep you visible when the light’s fading. And because we all know how unpredictable the British weather can be, there’s a rain cover tucked away in its own pocket, ready to spring into action if the skies open up.
Built tough, made for exploring
Gregory’s reputation for quality craftsmanship really shines through here. This pack is made from durable materials designed to stand the test of time, whether you’re popping out for a quick wander or tackling new trails. Do bear in mind, the hydration reservoir isn’t included, so you’ll want to grab a compatible one if you fancy using that feature.
All things considered, if you’re after a reliable, lightweight daypack that keeps you comfortable and your gear organised, the Gregory Arrio in Spark Navy is a cracking choice. It’s the perfect mate for anyone who loves getting outdoors without the hassle.
