Gregory Rhune Carries The Day, Wins ‘Made The Grade’ Designation

May 2, 2023

Go with the 25L pack that finds a place in everyone's hectic life

TUCSON, ARIZONA USA/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Trail to rail to bike to bus stop, the Gregory Rhune 25L pack earns its way into nearly anyone’s hectic life. That’s the reason INVESTMENT GRADE GEAR has awarded it ‘Made the Grade’ status for performance, value, and longevity.

‘Here is a pack, selected from dozens evaluated, that is easy to buy and even simpler to use,’ according to INVESTMENT’s founder and lead evaluator Peter Reese. ‘With capacity that seems well beyond its rated 25L volume, the Gregory Rhune carries features that are never fussy or extraneous.’

Rock-solid zippers turn responsible, recycled fabrics into a compact pack that doesn’t attract too much attention, even with one of the best grab handles in the category. A side-stretch pocket goes beyond water bottle utility to switch to jackets or other essentials, while stealth zippered pockets and an interior laptop sleeve complete the package.

“Rhune is my go-to pack for commuting to work, our next brand event and vacation – it really does it all,” says Lindsay Malone, Senior Marketing Manager at Gregory Mountain Products. “We LOVE that Peter and his team at INVESTMENT GRADE GEAR like it as much as we do and honored it with the ‘Made the Grade’ status!” 

INVESTMENT GRADE GEAR, rooted in 50 years of adventure experience and outdoor journalism, selects individual pieces of gear for video reviews: Nothing chosen is part of a traditional gear round-up, but merits special consideration for performance, lasting value, and embracing a ‘less and better beats more’ approach to a more sustainable future.

Many of the products selected for ‘Made the Grade’ have been in evaluation for three years or more, with some receiving updates since first taken outside or on the road for extended travel. In addition, none have been sponsored by the brands, nor does INVESTMENT receive compensation for their use in the ‘Made the Grade’ initiative.
