Gregory Targhee FT

Press information

The ISPO Award 2020 jury is absolutely convinced by the new Targhee FT and awarded the ski touring backpack with a Gold Award in the Snowsports segment. Jury member Kajsa Larsson says: “To develop a backpack further is hard so the jury was glad when seeing & trying the new smooth fast track ski carry system for any pair of skis, without taking the backpack off.”

The new FastTrack ski carry system gives the Targhee FT its name. The custom FastTrack friction hook system consists of a PU-coated loop above the hipbelt, a reinforced, elasticized top strap and a robust, locking aluminum clip on the shoulder strap. For short distances, it allows you to quickly stow skis without taking off the pack.

Elsewhere, Gregory relies on the proven features of the Targhee series. The FT offers numerous attachment options for ice tools, snow shoes and other gear. Skis can be stowed either with the FastTrack carry system or lashed to the sides of the pack for classic A-frame carry. There is a front avalanche tool pocket with secure probe and handle sleeves for rapid access when required. The full-length side zipper provides uninhibited access to the main compartment, which can also be accessed from the top.

Gregory equips the Targhee FT with its time-tested FusionLite suspension system. Both backpanel and shoulder padding are designed specifically for alpine use. The 3D-structured EVA foam is covered in a special laminated fabric that sheds snow to prevent snow build up. This keeps the suspension system and your back dry.

The Targhee FT weighs in at 1.36 kg (35 liters) and 1.41 kg (45 liters) respectively. However, for fast and light ascents, the frame sheet, top pocket, hipbelt and sternum strap can all be stripped off to save a further 500 grams. This means that the 35-litre version then weighs just 820 grams, while the 45-litre pack tips the scales at 860 grams in lightweight mode.

The Targhee FT will be available from Fall 2020 in 35- and 45-litre capacities in the colors Spark Navy and Rust Red (35L only).
