description Gregory Miwok 22 Overview

The Gregory Miwok 22 is a masterclass in active suspension. Its BioSync technology allows the shoulder straps and hip belt to flex independently, providing a stable carry even when you are moving quickly over technical terrain. It sits closer to the body than most packs, reducing sway and improving balance. The Miwok is ideal for hikers who prefer a more 'connected' feel and need a pack that won't bounce during descents.

It is a sleek, high-performance option that excels in comfort and stability for high-output mountain days.

recommend Best for: Fast-moving hikers and trail runners who prioritize stability, lightweight carry, and breathability on technical day hikes up to 15 miles.
