About the prizes:

 

Gregory Backpack


Gregory packs have everything for most technical pursuits from light overnights, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, and long day hikes.

Whilst having a light and flexible suspension system, they are still tough enough to get the job done. Features have been trimmed to satisfy minimalists yet enough has been kept for gear organisation.

  • A ventilation channel on the harnesses provides airflow without sacrificing stability. 
     
  • A top lid design on the larger models opens in reverse, this helps gear organization on the front of the pack.
     
  • Bramwell International is a distributor to specialist outdoor retailers of Meindl - quality handmade walking and trekking footwear including boots and shoes, Source - leading maker of high quality sandals and hydration systems, and Gregory - Innovative and comfortable backpack designs for all types of use.
