Gregory Kiro 20L Hiking Backpack – Alpine Black
If you’re after a trusty daypack that keeps up with your pace and won’t weigh you down, the Gregory Kiro 20L is well worth a gander. Weighing in at just 0.66 kg, it’s a cracking choice for day hikes where every bit of weight matters. With a neat 20-litre capacity, it’s spot on for carrying all your essentials without feeling bulky – whether you’re wandering off the beaten track or just nipping out for a quick ramble.
Comfort that Moves with You
The real star here is the CloudControl hipbelt, which flexes and shifts with your body as you move. Say goodbye to those stiff belts digging in or chafing your skin – this one offers soft, steady support exactly where you need it. The back panel is cleverly designed with perforated 3D foam layered under a gradient printed mesh, so it breathes well and looks the part too. It’s a proper boon on warmer days or when the climb’s got your heart racing.
Smart Storage and Handy Extras
Organisation’s a doddle with a smart spread of pockets. The main compartment’s got a zipper with custom-moulded ring pullers for easy access, while the side stretch mesh pockets are perfect for your water bottles or bits and bobs you want to grab in a flash. For valuables, there’s a zippered side pocket with a key clip to keep things safe and sound. And top it off with a handy top zippered trail access pocket – brilliant for snacks or your small gadgets.
If you’re a hydration fan, you’ll appreciate the internal sleeve designed for Gregory’s Hydro reservoirs, complete with a SpeedClip hanger (reservoir not included). The low-profile trekking pole attachments with elastic cords mean you can stash your poles away neatly when the going gets tricky. And here’s a proper British touch: a raincover tucked into its own zippered pocket under the top lid, so you’re ready to face those sudden downpours without faffing about.
Visibility and Safety
Safety’s not an afterthought either. Reflective attachment loops and prints give you 360° visibility, helping keep you seen when the light’s low. Even the sternum strap pulls double duty with an integrated safety whistle – handy for signalling if you ever need it.
A Pack Built to Last
Gregory’s reputation for quality is well earned. These packs are built to go the distance, not just last a season or two. With over 40 years of know-how behind them, you’re getting a backpack that’s reliable for all your adventures, big or small. Whether you’re juggling family life with weekend escapes or planning a longer trek, the Kiro is designed to be your steadfast companion.
Who’s It For?
Perfect for day hikers wanting a lightweight, breathable, and well-organised pack that won’t weigh them down. If you often find yourself out in changeable weather or value added safety features, this backpack ticks those boxes with ease. It’s also ideal for those who appreciate clever design touches like hydration compatibility and trekking pole storage – all without the bulk.
So, if you’re after a pack that’s comfy, practical, and ready to tackle whatever your adventures throw your way, the Gregory Kiro 20L is a solid choice that won’t let you down.
