Finisterre + Gregory Men’s Stout 45 Backpack

When it comes to outdoor gear that marries durability with sustainability, the Finisterre + Gregory Men’s Stout 45 Backpack is in a league of its own. Engineered for the long haul, this versatile pack is designed to carry you through countless adventures, whether you’re hiking remote trails or exploring urban landscapes.

At the heart of the Stout 45 Backpack (£175) is its impressive 45-litre capacity, which strikes a perfect balance between traveling light and packing enough for extended trips. The pack’s enduring construction, made from recycled materials, ensures it’s not only hard-wearing but also environmentally friendly. The 300D 100% recycled polyester ripstop and 420D 100% nylon base make for a tough, resilient exterior, while the PFC-free DWR coating adds an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Comfort is paramount with the Stout 45. Featuring breathable cushion support and the VersaFit adjustable torso length, this backpack can be tailored to fit any body type perfectly. The FitTune Hipbelt with large pockets offers additional support and convenient storage, ensuring that even the heaviest loads are manageable. The updated suspension design with a new shoulder harness and 3D foam back panel provides unparalleled comfort and stability, making long treks more enjoyable.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked, either. The Stout 45 is equipped with easy-access zipped pockets and a pull-out rain cover to keep your gear dry in sudden downpours. The full-body U-zip main opening on the front allows for hassle-free unloading, while the floating zippered top pocket and quick-pull drawcord closure offer additional storage options. With a carry weight of up to 20.4kg, this backpack can handle substantial loads without compromising on comfort or stability.

The wishbone alloy frame is another standout feature, providing stable load management and torsional flexibility. This ensures that the backpack moves with you, rather than against you, reducing fatigue on longer journeys. Additionally, the hydration sleeve and trekking pole/tool fastenings make it easy to stay hydrated and prepared for any terrain.

The Finisterre + Gregory Men’s Stout 45 Backpack is designed to last a lifetime, backed by a lifetime warranty. This pack is more than just a travel companion; it’s a testament to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. From its adjustable VersaFit back panel, made from breathable 3D foam, to its eco-friendly recycled construction, every detail is crafted with the adventurer in mind.

For those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and sustainable backpack, the Stout 45 is an excellent choice. Whether you’re hitting the trails or navigating city streets, this pack is ready to accompany you on every journey, standing the test of time with both style and substance.
