Is bigger, better? The Gregory Targhee 45 Ski Touring Pack

We’ve long relied on the nimble Gregory Targhee 32 for quick day tours and demanding ascents, praising its perfect balance of comfort and essential features. But when the objectives get bigger, like hut trips, full winter overnights, or carrying substantial technical rescue gear, the 32 liters just won't cut it. The Gregory Targhee 45 steps up as the true backcountry workhorse, built specifically to manage those significant, heavy loads without compromising stability or essential function.

We tackle the crucial question for Targhee fans: Is bigger truly better when it comes to a technical ski pack? We explore how the 45L retains the bombproof DNA of its acclaimed smaller sibling while dramatically increasing its carrying capacity and organizational prowess. We focus heavily on the superior VertFlex perimeter alloy frame, which ensures exceptional load stability and comfort even when the pack is maxed out, and the crucial zippered back-panel access that keeps the main compartment snow-free when you need quick gear retrieval.

From its robust, snow-shedding fabrics and reinforced ski/board carry loops to the well-thought-out avy tool pocket and insulated hydration sleeve, the Targhee 45 is designed for ultimate efficiency and safety on multi-day missions. Find out if this substantial upgrade provides the necessary space and support to elevate your most ambitious winter adventures. Read the full analysis to make your call on the ultimate Targhee choice.
