Salt Lake City, Utah (July 23) Finisterre, the UK-based brand known for its sustainable outdoor products, has reached across the Atlantic to collaboratively create two new hiking packs with Gregory, the US label known for the supreme carrying comfort of its backpacks.

This new relationship is rooted in a shared commitment to sustainability and adventure and has led us to two lifetime adventure essentials built for long hauls with less impact on the planet.

Here are ten things to know about the collab:

  1. Finisterre has exclusively reinterpreted two of Gregory’s best-selling backpacks – the Stout and Amber, which are specifically designed for men and women respectively.
  2. These are lightweight packs crammed with tech features both time-honored and modern, including wishbone alloy frames for load management and adjustable torso length, and a Speed Clip hydration attachment system compatible with Gregory Hydro reservoirs.
  3. “The idea for a more purpose-built pack came when we were hiking in Scotland,” says Todd, Head of Design at Finisterre. “If we wanted to make the product I had in my mind, we’d need to work with a brand that is not only the very best but also aligns with our values and has a solid stance on environmentalism. Gregory is that brand.”
  4. Cornwall’s Finisterre and Utah’s Gregory have used 100% recycled ripstop fabric as the main body material for their transatlantic collaboration. These Stout and Amber packs are also built using high-tenacity 420D Nylon to meet Finisterre’s strict durability standards.
  5. Both products have been treated with a durable DWR coating for outdoor adventure action. This coating is, it goes without saying, free from PFCs.
  6. Comfort is a key selling point of the Finisterre x Gregory duo. Features of note in this department include customisable torso lengths; adjustable wraparound Fit Tune hip belts; perforated 3D foam back panels for breathability; and shoulder harnesses with new die-cut air mesh and revised fabric panels for focused stability.
  7. Both packs come with a lifetime warranty as standard.
  8. Sizes include 45L and 55L for the Stout, and 44L and 54L for the Amber.
  9. The packs will be available from July 23rd on Finisterre.com
  10. And starting August 2nd on Gregory.com.
