Giveaway: A slightly broken backpack (2019 Baltoro 65)

Post by TooOld2Hike_EP »

My previous 2019 model Gregory Baltoro 65 broke on one side of the hip belt suspension system.

It bothers me to throw it away since it's otherwise in good shape. The fabric hip belt itself still works and the pack still carries a load. (Albeit not as well as before the suspension broke.)

Maybe you're cleverer/more industrious than I am and can fix it? (I could see drilling out/grinding off the pivot rivets, fiberglassing the hard suspension part and rivnutting the pivots back.)

Or maybe there are parts that a backpacker can cannibalize?

Anyway, PM me if you want to pick it up.

(Eyeballs and shoulder strap pocket not included.)
Be careful. It's not quite "a jungle out there." But history shows that it can be dangerous out there.
