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.

Posted by Cairngorm Treks on Feb 11, 2019

Gregory have a great reputation for making comfortable and very well-built packs.

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 …
