Our Verdict
The Gregory Women’s Amber 44 Rucksack is a top-tier choice for female hikers seeking a durable and highly adjustable pack for extended trips. With its VersaFit adjustable torso length and breathable 3D foam back panel, the Amber 44 ensures a custom, comfortable fit. The body-hugging 3D waistbelt and perforated shoulder harness further enhance stability and comfort on the trail, making it easier to carry heavier loads up to 20 kg.
Practicality is another strong suit of this rucksack. The pack has features that simplify trail life, including a sleeping bag compartment, a U-shaped zip for full access to the main compartment, and multiple mesh and zip pockets for organised storage. The durable construction, using recycled nylon with PFC-free DWR, ensures the pack can withstand harsh conditions. Despite its weight of 1295 grams, the Gregory Amber 44's comfort and comprehensive feature set make it a worthwhile investment for hikers who priorities comfort over pack weight.
