- Gregory Shasta - 4973 cu.in. - Size M - Green/Black - does not appear to ever have been used ; perfect shape!!! - This model is no longer available but was highly rated . We found this model be extremely comfortable with heavier loads - a great pack! A - A Classic - Retailed for about $270 - The Shastas were very well reviewed backpacks. Unfortunately, they are no longer being made. Two of our crew this year used Shastas carrying loads exceeding 60 lbs at times through all types of tough terrain without any issue. without any issue. Great packs & this one is in perfect condition!! Here are sample reviews I found online...there are plenty more like this: - "This is the perfect, no-frills week-long pack. I have had mine about 10 years at this point, and besides some dirt, it is still brand new. I have taken it on backpacking and alpine climbing trips with loads as little as 20 pounds and as high as 55 pounds. Since it is essentially a tube on a suspension frame, it will cinch down for smaller loads and expand for larger ones. As with all packs, proper packing and weight distribution in the key to comfort, but the Shasta helps by having a top-notch waist best and shoulder suspension system. There are straps to compress the pack, as well as draw it closer to your body at the waist, chest, shoulders, and head. Consequently, you can shift the load around from hips to shoulders, and back, as the day progresses --- allowing less fatigue in one general area. Great pack, and I don't foresee myself purchasing another for at least another decade." - " Gggrrrr! The Gregory Shasta is a friggin' monster. I've used it under all conditions and it's done great. It's incredibly adjustable, can comfortably carry staggering amounts of weight, and fits my tall frame just right. It's not a light pack, but I have lived out of it for months, so I guess there will always be trade-offs. It has held up well-a couple broken clips after several years. No tears, no burst seems. I've grown less and less interested in heavy backpacking, so I may trade in for something lighter, but if a durable Sherman-tank-of-a-backpack that can carry everything you need to survive is something you're in the market for, the Shasta might be the one." - "I've had this bag for many years now and I never wrote a review on it, I don't know why. It's such a great bag, comfortable, spacey, useful. In fact it's a little too big for most of my trips but when I go for more than 5 days, this bag is just so great. If loaded properly (heavy at the bottom, light on top), this bag is so comfortable that you will forget you have 60 pounds on your back (OK maybe not but at least you won't have bruises on your hips and shoulders). The material and built still impresses me as it is still looking new after 3+ years of hiking. No signs of weakness on the material at the most important parts (the bottom specially). Also note that I take great care of my gear. The straps are everywhere and if you know how to use them correctly, you can use it to carry things that you don't want to clog the inside with. I have ropes tied on them, a cup, gloves, a pan (!!), toilet paper (for sunny days!), a hat, pants, extra jackets, sleeping mat (at the very bottom, under the bag itself), I also have my tent at the bottom. Everything I own fits in it. If it doesn't fit for you, you either eat to much or you should leave your TV and DVD player at home and not IN your bag.... I put my sleeping bag at the very bottom for an easy access through the bottom opening. There's even a piece of material that keeps the upper part of the bag from falling if you take something (my sleeping bag) out of the bottom pocket. There is a pocket inside for a camelbak too, what a great idea. The top pocket can be used as a "fanny pack" with a belt and I use it for first aid kit, toothbrush, lighter, spices, headlight, knives, ropes, nuts.... anything that needs to be accessed quickly and or to carry the essential for a daily hike within a multiple day camping trip. Leave the big bag at the camp, carry the fanny pack! what a great idea! On one side you have the bottle holder and some straps that you can use for tying some stuff, and the other side is a fishnet which I use for either a camera tripod or ski poles, or tent poles or anything that can't really fit anywhere else. I also purchased a rain cover for it so it never get soaked which is a big reason why it's still in a brand new looking condition. I usually have a downside to any piece of equipment I have, but for this one I do not. If you find one, buy it." - "This is a top quality pack made to handle any reasonable load. It weighs 6 lbs, which isn't the lightest pack of its size out there, but that doesn't matter because it has such an amazing suspension/frame that you don't feel the weight. It has Gregory's famous rigid hip belt that moves with your natural motion, twin stays and a half length framesheet. The shoulder harness pivots to move with you also. The shoulder straps look thin, but are very comfy--you hardly feel them at all since it transfers weight to your hips so well. Packed with a total weight of 35 lbs I hardly feel the weight. Very stable too-it hugs your back and doesn't wobble or shift. A grippy back pad prevents the pack from sliding downwards. The Shasta is a no-frills pack- one big lid pocket and the main pack bag. No extra pockets to add weight. It has one water bottle holder on the side, canted at an angle for easy access. On the other side it has a mesh pocket that holds fuel bottles, tent poles, or even another water bottle if you wanted. It has great compression straps on the sides, daisy chains on the front to clip gear to, and a tough waterproof rubberized bottom. It could use a better water bladder sleeve (the plastic mesh one underneath the lid is way too small and a pain to use) but it isn't a big deal- just throw the bladder into the pack on top and snake the drinking tube out under the lid. It has a huge expansion collar and a floating lid so you could cram a ton of gear into it. The lid detaches and has its own built-in hipbelt so you can use the lid as a fanny pack for dayhikes or side trips. The packbag's opening is big--it swallows big gear easily. The sleeping bag compartment is plenty big with a removable divider. The pack's fabric is a thin, lightweight, ripstop nylon called Arrowhead fabric. It's good because it's light yet strong, and "gives" more than traditional packbag materials so you can cram more stuff in. It cinches down nicely to handle small loads, yet can also handle huge heavy loads with no problem. I love this pack's simplicity and tough as nails construction. But its real strength is is comfy carry." This is great pack! I helped outfit a backpacking expedition for a large group and acquired a good number of backpacks to allow for proper fitting, personal preference, etc. All backpacks were chosen based on their reputation (durability, workmanship, ratings, etc...) and are great packs - we simply could not use/keep them all. These packs are in exceptional shape with specific notations for those that have particular points to address but have many years of service! I will be posting them up for sale during the next couple of months as time permits. Most of the packs are of the larger capacity ( 90 + ltr) for longer treks since that was our focus and capable of carrying/handling heavier loads. - Paypal only
