Gregory  Amber 65 Pack - Closeout - Women's Plus Size

I was able to fit test the Amber 65 Plus and it is amazing! The outside of the pack: -The hip belt is very comfortable and sturdy, it helps support my back when I'm out on my adventures. -The pockets on the side allow for easy access to items such as a book or water bottle. -The hip belt pockets fit my 6" cellphone. -There is a large mesh pocket on the front of the pack that allows room to stuff a light jacket or fleece. -There is a small pocket on the top of the pack to stash keys, sunscreen or small items. The inside: - There is a divider compartment for a sleeping bag and the divider can be removed. -There is a small pocket on the inside flap of the pack that holds a rain cover and has extra room for small items. -The pack allows for inside access from the top and zippered area where a sleeping bag can be stored. This pack is perfect for a weekend to multi day backpacking trip or getaway!

I’m 5’4” 260lbs and typically a 2X-3X in clothing. I’m very relieved that I found this pack before my first backpacking trip! I did 30 miles with this bad boy and I have no neck, back, or shoulder pain whatsoever. Hip belts were easily accessible and great storage for my phone. This also fit my large bear canister without an issue. Again, definitely a relief to have found something made for plus sizes after having to return the first pack I ordered which absolutely did not fit me. Looking forward to seeing more options for more bodies in the future!

I bought this for my first backpacking expedition. I met my sister in Alaska and we hiked Resurrection Pass trail. I am very inexperienced, so I can not really compare this to other multi day packs, but I am in love. We did it!

After purchasing it over 6 months ago, I was finally able to put it to use. Bag held up for a 2 day backpacking trip. I’m not sure if it’s just me but the chest strap came of 2x during my trip and was difficult to slide back in. I didn’t bother to make too much of an effort to slide it back on until I was at resting point. Pack load was 33lbs and held well. I doubt I will be testing the limit of that load anytime soon. The waist pockets were great though I thought it would be slightly larger capacity. I am glad I found this as my torso length is shorter than most and went through many brands to find a good fit with. Glad someone suggested Gregory Packs!! I will be adding the water reservoir to my pack as I didn’t initially. I hope the water reservoir is easier to fit than my current non-Gregory brand.

Awesome pack! Love the look and colors. Love the feel and comfort. This is my first backpacking pack and I'm impressed with the ease of the pack. Easy to adjust and has many great pockets. Really happy.

I cannot believe the difference having this pack made on my most recent backpacking trip. I am so pleased with how well the pack fits and its adjustability. The separator between the sleeping bag and the rest of the bag worked well for me. I kept my tarp and sleeping bag inside and had a tent and pad strapped to the bottom of the bag. This kept everything else in my bag cleaner.

I got into backpacking a few years ago. My first backpack was the Gregory deva. It was pretty comfortable. I didn’t think anything of it with it not being a plus size backpack that is until I bought my husband a plus size backpack, and tried it on. As soon as I tried on a plus size backpack, I knew I needed to have one. Plus size and being active I can’t express the happiness. I feel with Gregory including all body types. If your plus size do yourself a favor and just buy a plus size backpack don’t waste your money on a normal one. 

I really enjoy the way this pack fits my plus size body. I am 5’ 5.5” and 277 lbs. I can reach the hip pockets and they open and close easily. The straps do not dig into me the way my Osprey Viva did and it works better for me than my Granite Gear Perimeter did. I still can’t reach the water bottle pockets but that is a problem even thin people have with their packs so that isn’t a big issue. I appreciate that it came with a rain cover.

Comfortable and perfectly sized! The color is darker than the picture but I love it more! The whole bag just fits my body better.

I received the amber 65 plus size today and when I tried it, I nearly teared up while doing a happy dance! I find that many bags are not good for those who are overweight, like myself. I'd like to do an overnight backpacking trip and was having trouble finding something that was too snug and caused discomfort a few miles into the trail. I was on the hunt for something that was a little bigger on the hip belt area. in addition to amber 65 being very high quality, with a rain cover, plenty of pockets, and storage, but it had PLENTY of space on the bottom belt for my bigger midsize section. i adjusted the bag and packed it with my gear and it felt incredible. I also felt more confident that I have a bad that fits my body type. Im glad that Gregory made a bag to keep people at my size moving! Thank you so much!
