In this month’s big competition, we have a superb backpacking/trekking pack up for grabs from premium pack brand Gregory.
When it comes to trekking and backpacking trips, you need a pack that offers lots of storage and high levels of comfort, and these two packs from Gregory give you both in spades. The Amber 68 (women’s) and Stout 70 (men’s) are the largest packs in the Gregory range offering a maximum carry of 22.7kg, yet weigh only 1.63kg/1.71kg and offer a host of features that ensure your comfort on the trail. Both packs have an VersaFit adjustable backsystem which allows you to get exactly the right fit for your body. The perforated, 3D foam backpanel gives great breathability, while a wishbone alloy frame delivers cushioned support. The padded wraparound hipbelt has large zippered pockets, while the perforated, breathable shoulder harness with sternum strap also includes an integral safety whistle. As well as superior comfort, storage options are a huge part of these packs’ appeal, with the main compartment easily accessed by a large U-shaped zipper, and additional options including two mesh side pockets, a zippered bottom sleeping bag compartment and a large stretch mesh pocket ideal for keeping your rain jacket or other items close to hand. Here’s a summary of some of the key features:
