Focal 48 MD hiking backpack

The Gregory Focal 48 hiking backpack is the ultralight pack in the range, offering excellent carrying comfort and optimal ventilation for hot summer hikes and multi-day trips where every gram counts.

An excellent balance of weight and comfort

At just over 1kg, the Gregory Focal 48 backpack is an ideal choice for anyone seeking to minimise weight. It uses an ultralight aluminium frame to support the load and transfer it onto your hips.
The Focal 48 uses 100D and 210D nylon for a lightweight yet durable shell.
Its comfort features include:

• an aluminium frame with a fibreglass anti-collapse stay for balanced carrying;
• a suspended back panel that follows your body's movements;
• a padded hip belt that is highly supportive and flexible, moving as one with your hips;
• an adjustable chest strap and shoulder load lifter straps.

Effective ventilation

The Focal 48 backpack's suspended mesh provides the breathability you need when perspiring heavily. An air channel ventilates your back effectively.
The hip belt and shoulder straps are also designed to minimise perspiration. An anti-odour treatment on the backpack prevents microbial growth.

Features and storage include:

• top access to the main compartment with a drawcord closure;
• a removable lid containing a large zipped pocket, a small internal zipped pocket and another zipped pocket beneath the lid;
• an ultralight rain cover in nylon taffeta;
• a stretch mesh front pocket with a fastening clip;
• 2 stretch mesh side pockets for water bottles, for example, with quick side access;
• a front pole holder;
• side compression straps to stabilise the load and attach extra equipment.
