A NO-NONSENSE OVERNIGHT PACK Sometimes a name is misleading-remember when you ordered sweetbreads for dessert?-but the Gregory Stout 45 Backpack means what it says. A tough, straightforward, no-nonsense pack for lightweight overnights or weekend hostel trips, the Stout has a TrailFlex wishbone suspension that uses a flexible backpanel and spring steel internal frame to carry loads of up to 35 pounds without discomfort. The TrailFit hip belt is fully adjustable, too, so your hips, shoulders, and back can share the load. The Stout carries like a champ, but it also has a series of smartly designed features that make trail life a little smoother, like a stow-away rain cover and removable lid that keep your gear dry and lighten your load, respectively. Top and bottom access makes it easy to get at gear in different parts of your pack, and front, side, and hip belt pockets keep snacks, layers, maps, and phones accessible. Gregory also built in loops to carry trekking poles and ice axes, compression straps for extra gear or sleeping pads, and a series of daisy chain loops that are designed to carry portable solar panels but work as lash points for whatever other gear you decide to bring.
