Gregory Kiro Series Minimalist Hiking Daypacks - 28L & 24L

Built for athletic hikers who demand apparel-like comfort and streamlined utility, the Gregory Kiro Series is engineered to feel less like a pack you carry and more like a layer you wear. Whether you're heading out for a fast-and-light trek with the Kiro 24 or packing all-day essentials plus gear for a secret swimming hole in the Kiro 28, every pack in the series delivers a minimalist design without compromising on fully featured support.
