Why We Like The Gregory Zulu 45L Backpack
The Gregory Zulu 45L Backpack is designed specifically for overnight backpacking trips, with a focus on comfort and durability. Its ventilated back panel allows for airflow and heat escape, ensuring a cool and comfortable experience. The FreeFloat suspension system flexes with your body, providing a snug fit that prevents chafing.
One of the standout features of this backpack is its large U-Zip opening, which makes accessing your gear a breeze. Additionally, it offers a variety of external pockets, including extra-large zippered hip belt pockets, a front stretch-mesh pocket, dual mesh side pockets, and a top zippered pocket on the floating lid. This ample storage space is ideal for keeping all your essentials organized during overnight backpacking trips in your favorite outdoor destinations.
With a maximum weight capacity of 40 pounds, the 45-liter pack is perfectly suited for lighter loads on overnight adventures. Its high-denier fabrics ensure durability and abrasion resistance, while the adjustable torso provides 3.5 inches of adjustability for a customized fit. The shoulder harnesses are perforated for maximum airflow and comfort, and the alloy steel frame securely distributes weight to your hips.
The backpack features an AeroSpan ventilated suspension system that keeps you cooler and drier, even during strenuous hikes. It also includes a hydration sleeve with SpeedClip hydration hanger, allowing for convenient access to water on the go. The dual-layer bottom panel adds extra durability, ensuring the backpack withstands the demands of rugged outdoor environments.
