At the OR show we saw new items from Gregory Packs, including the versatile Quadro Pro Hardcase rollers, the highly functional Tetrad, and Tribute travel packs, and finally some significant upgrades for their 3D Hydro hydration reservoir system.
Quadro Pro Hardcase Roller
The Gregory Packs Quadro Pro is designed with a durable polycarbonate shell, functional handles, zippered compartments, 4-wheel mobility, and their ActiveShield organization.
Built using a “bombproof” polycarbonate shell, the Quadro Pro combines absolute gear protection with Gregory’s expert-level design.
An ActiveShield compartment – unique to Gregory’s adventure travel line – separates dirty gear from clean clothes in a fully removable vapor-and-odor-resistant compartment. A TSA-approved combination lock is integrated into the case for added gear protection, and a new wide-grip handle is durable and user-friendly. This is all in addition to the proprietary Quadro 4-wheel spherical wheel system for maneuverability, and zippered expansion panel that extends the case by 1.5-inches. The Quadro Pro comes in a carry-on friendly 22″ case for $169.95 and more massive 30″ case for $219.95, in either an Anthracite Black or Steel Gray color.

Three travel uses designed into one packable, seam-taped travel cover – protection against rough handling, wet weather, and unwanted access.

The ultimate convertible travel packs, all of the Tetrad and Tribute packs feature a lightweight perimeter alloy frame and HDPE framesheet to properly channel weight to the hipbelt. Adjustable torso length in all models provides a custom fit regardless of pack size.
Hydration Reservoirs and Hoses
They’re making a big update on the 3D Hydro reservoirs for the next season. They’re improving the DryLock magnetic bite valve so that it will stay clipped on and not accidentally bounce off during a ride. They are also adding a large handle for filling, cleaning and holding, and a high mounted quick disconnect system. You’ll be able to get the new reservoirs separately, as well as kits for the DryLock magnetic bite valve, and quick disconnect systems so that you could retrofit an older model.
