Gregory  Stout 45 Pack - Men's

The mesh material used for the front pouch is poor and will not hold up to the lightest use. Completely inadequate strength or it’s how it’s sewn. They will tell u it’s not a defect in the manufacturing or material BUT the fabric and how it is applied is inadequate. GREGORY does not back up the built to last a lifetime. I would recommend PATAGONIA instead

I bought this pack because I love the color and pockets. I measured myself wrong and thought was a 16 torso and this pack only goes down to small and 16 inch torso. Tried it on a hike and no matter how i adjusted, it was just too big. The straps sat awkwardly on my shoulders. I had to return mine. Too bad this pack only came in one size.

I used this bag for an 18 day backpacking trip. It held everything very well and I like the outer water bottle pockets and the outside stretchy pocket for jackets or quick access items. The laptop sleeve is nice on the inside as well. I do wish there was another internal pocket, but the pockets in the top of the bag sufficed.

Bought this in Spring of 2023. The amount of custom-fit adjustments are great. Easy to adjust weight distribution on-the-fly when going from uphill to downhill. Sits perfect. Feels perfect. I dont even notice it on my back after the first 5 minutes of putting it on. It may be the last pack I ever buy. 10/10 for me.

Used bag to hike the Portugal Coastal Camino. Plenty of room for everything. Pouches on belt were great for holding phones, chargers, adapters, and other small items. Gregory has an oversize fit for larger hikers which I appreciated.

I bought mine a year ago. Love it. I do wish it had a dedicated sleeve for a flyrod, but I make do. I'm looking to get a stout 70 now.
