Auto•Cant™ Shoulder Harness
The Auto•Cant™ shoulder harness system is an exciting new concept for attaching the shoulder harnesses to the pack, and is an exclusive feature found only on Gregory packs. Available on all Professional and Adventure Series packs, and select Escape and Sport Series packs, Auto•Cant™ is based on the simple idea that shoulder straps need to rotate to a range of angles to accommodate individual neck and shoulder shapes, as well as the movement of the shoulders associated with physical activity. Each Auto•Cant™ panel attaches to the framesheet with a single pointvel (aircraft grade aluminum rivet), allowing them to independently rotate and self-adjust to the slope of the shoulders. You can also fine-tune the degree of rotation by tensioning the shoulder stabilizer strap. It’s another example of the ongoing innovation that goes into every Gregory pack.
Adjust•A•Cant™ Waistbelt Panel
The stays themselves are bolted directly to the Adjust•A•Cant™ waistbelt. Molded from engineering grade HDPE, the Adjust•A•Cant™ waistbelt panel is designed with a conical shape that matches the shape of the body around the top of the hips. It wraps continuously from the small of the back, where it is attached to the stays, around to the front of the hips. Direct connection of the stays to the Adjust•A•Cant™ panel results in direct transfer of the pack’s weight to the hips. Conventional waistbelts simply cannot support and transfer the load in the same way.
This integrated system, composed of the stays, framesheet and Adjust-a-Cant™ panel is highly efficient and capable of supporting truly expedition-sized loads.

Adjust•A•Cant™ Waistbelt
The Adjust•A•Cant™ waistbelt grew out of an effort to better address the needs of women. Feedback from our customers showed that traditional waistbelts often didn’t fit women’s hips properly. Straight-sided waistbelts simply did not distribute weight evenly around the hips. In response, we developed the Adjust•A•Cant™ system, which has improved fit for women and men alike.
The Adjust•A•Cant™ panel can be adjusted to three different cant settings to accommodate various hip-to-waist angles - 16, 18 and 20 degrees. During the fitting process, if there is a gap at the top or bottom edge of the waistbelt pad, the Adjust•A•Cant™ panel can be fine tuned to eliminate the gap and create even weight distribution between the pad and the body. The adjustment is simple and results in even distribution of the pack’s weight over the entire surface of the waistbelt. Eliminating hot spots and ridges of pressure helps ensure all-day comfort.
Flo•Form®
Flo•Form® technology is what creates a higher level of comfort in Gregory packs. Flo•Form® refers to our patented process for thermo-molding laminates of foam and fabric to create shapes and components that can’t be duplicated with conventional sewing techniques. Gregory was the first to apply this technology to large internal frame backpacks well over five years ago.
When conventional fabrics are bent or stitched, they bunch and crease. Put these creases against your body, add fifty pounds, and youll experience chafing and discomfort. Flo•Form® allows our waistbelts, shoulder harnesses and backpanels to be molded to match specific shapes of the body. Built-in creases and channels prevent straps and harnesses from bunching against the body, and also promote unmatched ventilation.
Like the most expensive ski boot liners, foam laminates create a personalized fit that cannot be replicated using conventional materials. Although others may mimic our technology, we are already using third generation Flo•Form® technology, and will continue to lead through innovation in design and manufacturing technologies.

Flo•Form® II Shoulder Harness
The Gregory Flo•Form® II shoulder harness is molded from a single piece of the highest quality Evasote foam. It’s flowing S-curve shape wraps over the shoulders, down and across the chest. The harness follows a line of constant contact so no section of the shoulders bears more pressure than any other.
Perhaps the most unique element of the harness is the Load Control Panel. All of the stitching and hardware is attached to the webbing that runs on top of the shoulder harness. This webbing panel attaches to the top of the foam padding with a wide strip of VelcroTM, allowing all of the stress of lifting and load carrying to be born by the webbing, so the Evasote foam has only one job to do; provide long lasting cushioning and comfort. Other manufacturers sew directly through the foam padding, weakening it and forcing the pad to become a load bearing part of the strap. The result is a shoulder strap that will stretch, distort and break down. Gregory shoulder harnesses provide unsurpassed comfort mile after mile.
The fact that the Load Control Panel and the padding are separate components means the padding can be moved in towards or out away from your neck, allowing Gregory packs to be fine-tuned for the upper body. Women have found this feature, as well as our two women’s specific harnesses particularly beneficial as they allow the shoulder harness to be more precisely aligned along the top of the shoulder.

Flo•Form® II Waistbelt
The careful attention to detail continues with our Flo•Form® II waistbelt pads. These interchangeable pads slide on over the waistbelt panel for a custom fit. Each pad is built like our lumbar pad, with three layers of foam to cushion, protect and mold to your unique body shape. Our waistbelt pads are segmented to wrap seamlessly around the waist. Each part is sculpted to cup over your hip bones for a comfortable, no-slip fit. Like the lumbar pad, remember that an overly soft waistbelt won’t hold up under serious loads. A winner of Backpacker Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award, Gregory waistbelts are designed and manufactured with the finest materials to provide a lifetime of comfort.
