Gregory Stout and Amber Rucksacks

Apr 02, 2024

Gregory's Stout and Amber Rucksacks use a combination of highly durable fabrics combined with an adjustable back length to provide a very comfortable pack. Comfort is a highlight with these packs and the combination of adjustable back length, adjustable wraparound hip belts and the usual straps mean that you can really personalise the fit. They may not be the lightest packs, but with all the optio …

Gregory Focal 58L Review - ''A robust carrying system, packed full of features and for a weight of 1.3kg''

Posted by Chris Futers on Aug 15, 2023

This year’s ‘The Great Outdoor Challenge’ (TGOC) allowed me to take the Gregory Focal 58L rucksack out into the Scottish Highlands, whilst I’d attempted to make it from Plockton in the West to Montrose on the East Coast. For the TGOC, most look for a pack size between 45 litres (minimalist, certainly compromises to be made on kit) to 70 litres (preparing for all eventualities with a few e …

Gregory Stout 60L Review - “We were very impressed with the overall build quality.”

Posted by Trek Scotland on Sep 15, 2022

The Stout 60L backpack from Gregory is a backpack built for multi-day trekking, well suited for our activities through winter and summer in the Cairngorms and Northwest Highlands. At a total weight of 1758 grams, including the rain cover, this is certainly not for those who scrutinise every gram. As with the previous Gregory packs we have used, the focus is more on comfort, …

Gregory Focal 58 Review - '' I was hugely impressed by the side mesh pockets''

Posted by Mark Richardson on May 10, 2022

I used this pack on a three-day winter backpacking trip to the Lake District and was mightily impressed, Gregory don’t seem to have compromised at all which makes me wonder why all backpacking rucksacks don’t weigh in at 1.2kg or thereabouts. How much does it weigh? The sample pack I used had a medium back length and with all the optional components removed it weighed 1100 grams, but you …

Cairngorm Treks Review - Gregory Paragon 58 Backpack

Posted by Cairngorm Treks on Feb 11, 2019

Gregory have a great reputation for making comfortable and very well-built packs. We have never had the chance to use one of their backpacks before so when we received the Gregory Paragon 58 we were eager to get it out into the hills and see for ourselves what all the hype was about. Firstly, and also importantly, if counting grams is of importance, we recommend you probably look …

UOG Review - Gregory Optic 58 Rucksack

Posted by Mark Richardson on Feb 04, 2019

Very comfortable pack with a strong frame and venting back panelFor me a decent 50-60 litre backpacking rucksack should weigh about a kilogram, in my experience packs that weigh a lot less than this have an inferior frame/harness combination and won’t give you a comfortable carry at my typical backpacking weight of 30-35lbs (that's around 15kg). The Gregory Optic 58 Litre pack just meets this crit …
