Gregory Forester backpack for sale

I still have that Gregory Forester backpack for sale (advertised here previously). I purchased it last year in November and have only used it on a few hikes, and it still looks brand new. It’s a medium, blue in color. There are no rips or tears and it is still very clean. Weight of the pack empty is a little over 4 lbs.

I paid $239 and offered it earlier at $175. I’ll cut that to $150 if the buyer would pay postage. Email me at

or if you prefer call me at 1-757-890-0523.

I thru-hiked with this pack and have since bought one for my boyfriend. GREAT PACK!!! Relatively lightweight and a TON of room compared to packs of similar lightweightness… take off the brain and you have cut the weight even more.

Check out website below:

and look at the G4 and G5. I’m not sure that they would last a thuhike but they sure are light.

$85 - G4 Standard Pack
$130† - G5 Semi-Custom Pack

The G4 is the lightest large-volume pack with a waist belt available. It includes many unique features. The back and bottom are constructed of polyurethane-coated 200 denier nylon oxford for strength and abrasion resistance. The rest of the pack is constructed of polyurethane-coated 70 denier 2.2 oz. ripstop nylon. Shoulder straps are 3½” “hollow” oxford to allow insertion of socks or foam for padding. Waistbelt is 1.5” webbing with “hollow” oxford sides to add gloves/socks or foam for padding. Back is set up for six to eight sections of Z-Rest pad that is the standard 20” width. The G4 is available either Standard, or Semi-Custom sewn with your choice of color and options.

Figure on two for the trail unless you treat it gingerly. That being said the people using them seemed to like them and two GVP packs are still cheaper than almost all other single packs and they are LIGHT. And after you walk a bit you WILL REALIZE THAT LIGHT IS RIGHT! It seems to me I remember the mesh pockets being the weak point on the packs. Perhaps they have went to a stronger mesh though.
