亲身体验Gregory背负的完美感觉 [组图]
以下是gg网站自己对其Auto-Cant™ harness /Adjust-A-Cant™ waistbelt /Flo-Form® II waistbelt padding /Flo-Form® II shoulder harness的介绍
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.

现在来说说自己的感觉
首先，我觉得gg最经典的设计，关于他的Auto•Cant™自动调整肩带，根据gg的介绍每个Auto•Cant™模板都使用一个固定点(航天器等级铝铆钉)连接于背板上面，允许每一块模板都独立旋转，使得能够自我适应肩膀的倾斜角度。
这就是说，无论是你个胖子还是个瘦子，gg的肩带都能够适应你的身材。
然后说到gg的腰称，Adjust•A•Cant™ Waistbelt Panel是成心的腰称，很好的环着你的腰，就像就像有人抱着你的那种感觉`````^_^
最后，来所说gg的Flo-Form® II 立体腰带以及Flo-Form® II 弧形立体剪裁背带，我觉得他彻底改变了原本gg背负给人较硬的感觉，尤其那履带式的腰环，堪称`完美……
另外发现，现在的gg所有的扣件好像都是使用ykk的喽，虽然讨厌小日本，但是毕竟也是名牌啊，日本吉田拉链那么有名气，扣减应该也不会差吧，当然，所有的扣件也都打上了gg的商标。
gg的确是好东西，在美国有这么多专利哦
Auto-Cant™ 背带系统
Auto•Cant™肩带背负系统是一种专为登山包设计的肩带背负系统，它使用了令人激动新理念，它仅在Gregory™牌登山包上使用。他应用于专业和探险系列登山背包中以及部分逃亡和运动系列的背包上。Auto•Cant™ 使用一个简单的原理以自动调节适用于各种不同的颈部以及肩膀形状，以及适应各种身体活动过程中的肩部的运动。每个Auto•Cant™模板都使用一个固定点(航天器等级铝铆钉)连接于背板上面，允许每一块模板都独立旋转，使得能够自我适应肩膀的倾斜角度。你同样的也能够通过调节肩带的松紧度来调节肩带的角度。这是另一个正在改革并加入每个Gregory™背包创新群体的实例。
Adjust-A-Cant™腰带嵌板
这些支柱直接被闩到Adjust•A•Cant™腰带里。以工程等级高密度聚乙烯铸造，Adjust•A•Cant™腰带嵌板被设计成圆锥形使其在臀部顶端于身体形状相配合。它从后腰背部与支柱联结，连续缠绕，环绕于臀部顶端。支柱直接联结到Adjust•A•Cant™嵌板导致背包的重量直接转移到臀部。传统的腰带完全不能以这样的方式支持和转移负荷。
这个由支柱，framesheet和Adjust•A•Cant™嵌板组成的综合系统能非常有效且可能的支撑探险规格的负荷。
Adjust-A-Cant™腰带系统
Adjust•A•Cant™腰带产生的效果可以更好的满足女性的需要。从我们的客户的反馈来看，传统的腰带通常和女性的臀部配合的不好。直边的腰带没有平均地分布在臀部周围的体重。对此我们作出的反应是，开发出了Adjust-A-Cant™ 系统，它对存在这种情况的女性和行栽诤仙沓潭壬献鞒隽烁纳啤?Adjust•A•Cant™的控制盘可以有3种不同的倾斜设置来适应各种臀至腰的角度－16，18和20度。在适合的过程中，如果腰带垫的顶部或底部有一个缺口，Adjust-A-Cant™ 可以很好地消除这个缺口并平等地分配垫子和身体间的重量。这种调整很简单，并且可以在整个腰带面上平均分配背包的重量。消除危险点和压力褶皱帮助确保了整天的舒适。
Flo-Form® II 立体腰带以及Flo-Form® II 弧形立体剪裁背带
Flo•Form®
Flo•Form®工艺提高了Gregory背包的舒适度。Flo•Form®引用我们的专利方法，即以热电成型碾压泡沫塑料和织物以制成不能够以传统缝纫技术复制的形状和成分。Gregory是五年前第一个应用这项技术
传统的织物被弯折或缝合时会捆成一束、变皱。这些折皱与你的身体接触，加上五十磅的重量，你将体验皮肤发痒和不舒适的感觉。Flo•Form®让我们的腰带，肩带背负和背部嵌板被浇铸的贴合特殊身体曲线。固定折缝和信道防止了背带和背负聚束摩擦身体，并且也提高了无可匹敌的通风效果。
像最昂贵的滑雪靴衬垫一样，泡沫塑料层压制品创造了一种不能以传统材料复制的私人化的舒适感。
虽然别人可能会模仿我们的技术，，但我们已经使用了第三代Flo•Form®技术，并且将通过改革设计和制造技术继续保持领先。
Flo•Form® II 肩带背负
Gregory Flo•Form® II肩带背负是以一片最高质量的Ecasote泡沫塑料浇铸而成。它平滑的S形曲线包裹住肩部，向下在胸部交叉。这种背负沿一条不变的接触线而行，所以肩部的每一部分承受的压力都是相同的。
或许这种背负最独特的地方在于它的负荷控制面板。所有的缝纫和金属构件都被附着于肩带背负顶端的结实的带子上。这个带子的嵌板以一种VelcroTM 的宽带材附着于泡沫塑料填料的顶端，让这种结实的带子承担所有的起重和加载的压力。因此Evasote泡沫塑料只有一个工作要做，就是提供长时间的缓冲和舒适感。其他制造商的产品是直接穿过泡沫塑料填料缝纫的，弱化了它并且迫使填料成为背带的一部分附载。这将导致肩部背带拉长，扭曲，断裂。Gregory肩部背负则持续提供非常卓越的舒适感。
负荷控制面板和填料是独立的成分这一事实意味着填料能被朝向或远离你的颈部移动，让Gregory背包能够良好的与上部的身体谐调。女士们已经发现了这个特点。我们的两款女用特殊背负更好的沿着肩部顶端排列,具有显著的益处。
Flo•Form® II 腰带
对细节的仔细关注延续到了我们的Flo•Form® II腰带衬垫上。这些可互换的衬垫在腰带嵌板上滑动以达到舒适习惯。每一块衬垫被构造的像我们的腰部肉垫，用三层泡沫塑料来衬垫，保护并浇铸成你独特的身体形状。
我们的腰带衬垫被分割包裹腰部以减少缝线。每一部分在尾骨上方被造型成凹形以保持舒适及不会滑动。值得注意的是，像腰部肉垫一样，过分柔软的腰带是不能支撑很大负荷的。一个背包杂志编辑选择授予的胜利是Gregory腰带，它以最好的材料设计制造，以提供终生的舒适。
