The Gregory Maven 48 women's trekking backpack is a 48-litre pack engineered for multi-day hiking and overnight trips where load capacity, fit and organization matter.

Perforated breathable shoulder straps and a contoured women’s-specific harness improve ventilation and fit, and the pack includes a dedicated hydration compartment with a SpeedClip system for secure reservoir attachment. Dimensions: 680 × 350 × 260 mm.

Advantages

This backpack balances capacity and ergonomic design to suit extended hikes. The metal frame provides stable load transfer to the hip belt, while EVA foam panels add cushioning and pressure distribution. Perforated shoulder straps and a ventilated harness reduce heat buildup on long approaches. Practical features such as ComfortGrip zipper pulls, a quick-pull closure, a chest strap with an integrated rescue whistle, waist belt pockets and a dedicated sleeping bag compartment improve on-trail convenience. An integrated rain cover offers weather protection for the main compartment when needed.

How to use

Load heavier items close to the metal frame and near the mid-back to improve balance and reduce strain. Place the sleeping bag in the dedicated lower compartment and use waist belt pockets for small items you need to access quickly. Attach a hydration reservoir to the SpeedClip in the dedicated compartment and route the drinking tube along the shoulder strap. Adjust the women’s-specific harness, sternum strap and hip belt so the pack sits snugly on the hips with minimal movement during walking. Use the quick-pull closure to compress the load and ComfortGrip zipper pulls for easy access while wearing gloves.

Usage recommendations

Before each trip, check that all buckles, the SpeedClip attachment and the rain cover are correctly stowed and functional. Distribute weight evenly, secure loose straps to avoid snagging, and use the hip belt to transfer load from shoulders to hips for longer comfort. Clean and dry the pack after wet conditions to preserve fabric and stitching.
