The Stout 45L Plus Backpack packs everything we need for a full day in the mountains or a light overnight, without feeling oversized for shorter hikes or even travel days. Its supportive, cushy, and ventilated VersaFit suspension system readies us for high-mileage days on the trail, and the bottom access compartment keeps our sleeping bag separate from the rest of our gear. We appreciate that Gregory fixed a rain cover that you can deploy when wet weather unexpectedly pours overhead. As the Plus version, this pack is designed with extended-length shoulder straps and hip belts, as well as fit revisions to accommodate hikers of larger shapes and sizes.
