Gregory Focal 48 Backpack (L)

The Focal 48 features unmatched comfort and carrying ability, thanks to the FreeFloat dynamic hip belt and fully ventilated back panel. With quick-access zippered hip belt pockets and odour-fighting mesh, this pack can take on those longer voyages where you and your pack become one.

Extremely secure and strong in its construction, the Focal 48 Backpack provides ample space to carry heavy objects securely and comfortably. The main body has been constructed with 100D High Density 40% Recycled Nylon and 210D High Density 45% Recycled Nylon with PFC-Free DWR, making the bag extremely tough and durable, able to stand up against forces as well as being water resistant, providing additional protection in lighter rain showers. A FreeFloat Dynamic Suspension allows the hip belt to pivot and flex with the natural movements of your body for complete freedom of movement. The suspension features the 3D comfort cradle hip belt with dynamic flex panels that move with the natural movements of your body so you'll never feel restricted on outdoor adventures. As well as this, the suspension and the 3D comfort system are highly breathable meaning they allow for increased ventilation. The system allows cool air to flow throughout the back panel to ensure you remain comfortable and cool when temperatures rise. The back panel also features Polygiene Stays Fresh technology, an odour control fabric treatment that inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping you feeling clean and fresh no matter how long you are out. The adjustable torso length allows you to find a perfect fit; it also features a moisture-wicking mesh that moves excess sweat and moisture away from the skin where it can be easily evaporated. The 3D comfort cradle hip belt is designed to remove hotspots and provide body-hugging comfort as soon as you put the pack on. A Comfort wrap, breathable shoulder harness with sternum strap features an integrated safety whistle and hydration clip whilst the perimeter alloy frame and fibreglass anti-barreling cross-stay offer stable load management.
