Gregory Targhee

The Targhee is built with a women-specific suspension system. This means the shoulder harness and hip belt are contoured differently to better accommodate a female anatomy, ensuring the pack sits securely and doesn't shift while you are skiing or riding.

The insulated hydration sleeve is designed to mitigate freezing, but it is not a thermal thermos. It provides a significant layer of protection against the cold, though in extreme sub-zero temperatures, you should still blow the water back into the reservoir after each sip to keep the line clear.

The front panel is constructed with high-tenacity CORDURA nylon, which is specifically chosen for its resistance to tears and abrasions. It is rugged enough to handle contact with ski edges and snowboard bindings during regular use in the backcountry.

Yes, the pack features a U-Zip back panel access. This allows you to lay the pack front-down on the snow and unzip the back panel to reach your gear without getting the shoulder straps and back padding wet or covered in snow.

For a standard day trip where you are carrying essentials like a shovel, probe, extra layers, and snacks, 24 liters is the sweet spot. It keeps the pack profile low and stable for active movement, though it may feel tight if you are carrying bulky photography gear or significant extra equipment.

Yes, the pack is designed with specific attachment points and internal organization for safety equipment. This ensures your shovel and probe are easily accessible in an emergency rather than buried at the bottom of your main compartment.
