Product Information
Full details
The Gregory Border 30 Travel Backpack is an ideal choice for frequent flyers and business travelers who prioritize organization and efficiency. Its primary benefit is the specialized ActiveShield compartment, which uses antimicrobial technology to isolate damp or soiled gear from your clean clothes. While it is highly functional for urban travel and commuting, its structured design and 30L capacity make it less suitable for rugged, long-distance backcountry hiking.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the Gregory Border 30 waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will protect your belongings during light rain or spills, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Does this backpack fit under an airplane seat?
Yes, its 30L dimensions (53H x 33W x 22D cm) are generally compliant with most major airline personal item requirements, though you should check your specific carrier.
Can the ActiveShield divider be removed?
No, the internal divider and ActiveShield compartment are permanently integrated into the design of the bag.
What is the laptop sleeve size limit?
The sleeves are designed to accommodate standard laptops and tablets up to typical modern ultrabook sizes; check your device dimensions against the internal compartment space.
Is this pack suitable for hiking?
While it can be used for light walking, it is primarily optimized for travel and urban environments and lacks the ventilation and support found in dedicated hiking packs.
Troubleshooting
Laptop sleeve feels tight
Ensure the bag is not overpacked, as excessive volume in the main compartment can reduce the available space in the external sleeve.
ActiveShield compartment odor
While the compartment features Polygiene StaysFresh technology, it is recommended to wash the divider periodically if soiled items are stored for long periods.
Luggage handle pass-through not fitting
The pass-through is designed for standard upright suitcase handles. Ensure the handle is in the fully extended position to allow for easier alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Gregory Border 30 in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the pack in water or using harsh detergents that could damage the water-resistant coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the ActiveShield compartment is fully zipped and empty before storing for long periods to allow the antimicrobial treatment to function effectively.
- Packing: Use the luggage handle pass-through by sliding the strap over your rolling suitcase handle while moving through the terminal to distribute weight evenly.
- Tech Safety: Always ensure your laptop and tablet are placed into the padded sleeves before zipping to prevent screen scratches or impact damage.
