The Greysill is our unique take on the ubiquitous hip pack.
There are a lot of hip packs out there. We tried many of them - from brands large and small - but we couldn't find any we really liked. So we sat down and designed something we thought we'd like. We rode it; scrapped it; then repeated the process several times. It turns out that making a hip pack that rides really well is quite a challenge! In the end, we came up with a creative hip belt design that solved the problem. The Greysill: excellent volume, extremely comfortable, and a very solid ride. Tucked nicely into the small of your back, there's no bounce, no shifting, no flopping around.
The Greysill features a 2-liter main pocket; an internal sleeve pocket allows for some division of contents. The zippered main compartment with two zipper sliders allow you to run a hydration hose out either side of the pack, should you decide to add a lumber hydration reservoir. The Greysill's outer flap can be used as expandable storage space and includes an additional zippered sleeve pocket. If the pack is full and you need somewhere to stash an extra layer, simply roll it up, stuff it between the flap and main bag, and cinch the compression straps. Finally, the Greysill's mesh back keeps you cool, while the broad side "wings" allow for all-day comfort.
If you prefer, the Greysill can also be used as an over-shoulder bag for cruising around town (or mountains!) on foot.
The Greysill is ready to hit the trail whenever you are - let's roll!
Weight: 280 grams / 10oz. Dimensions: 12" wide, 6" tall, 3" deep. Volume: Approximately 2 liters in main pocket; additional items like rain gear/layers can be securely stuffed and strapped between the pocket and outer flap. Made in Colorado, USA.
Fits people with a body circumference *actually measured around the hips or waist, not pants size* between ~28-48". You should measure where you'll be wearing the bag; some of us prefer it around the hips, some of us around the waist.
Using the Greysill is straightforward, but you'll get the best performance out of it if you follow these guidelines. Before putting the Greysill on, make sure the upper compression straps are loose. Buckle the main strap around your waist. If the pack is fully loaded, make sure the strap is straight around your body (not sagging to the rear) and the Greysill tucks nicely into the small of your back. Cinch the main strap, then cinch the upper compression straps. Go ride!
