Bringing Mountain Smarts to the City: Why the Gregory "Journeyman" Is the Ultimate Backpack for Business Trips
It’s not uncommon to see people using outdoor-brand backpacks for business trips and travel. But while you get the benefits of durability and comfort, you often have to compromise with a design that's too casual or features that are just overkill.
That's where Gregory, a titan in the American outdoor industry, saw an opportunity.
They developed the "Journeyman," a backpack that keeps the core strengths of their mountain packs but adds the stylish design and practical features needed for city life.
It has since cemented its status as one of the brand's signature travel backpacks. Brand Director Kenjiro Nakajima is here to break down everything that makes it so appealing, from its development story to its detailed specs.
