Gregory Miko 20 Daypack

Gregory Mountain Products was founded in 1977 by Wayne Gregory in San Diego, California. The brand quickly became a pioneer in the outdoor industry, focusing on ergonomic design and innovative suspension systems for backpacks. The Miko 20 is a part of their modern daypack lineup, designed specifically for hiking and active use.

Over the decades, the brand has transitioned through several ownership structures. After being acquired by Black Diamond in 2010, it was later sold in 2014 to Samsonite International S.A. While the brand retains its American design heritage and R&D headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, the actual manufacturing of technical packs like the Miko 20 is primarily handled in specialized facilities in Vietnam to balance technical complexity with global distribution needs.
