Why We Love the Zulu 55L Backpack

Whether you're embarking on a challenging expedition in the Wind Rivers or simply heading out for an overnight adventure in your local mountains, the Gregory Zulu 55L Backpack is the ultimate companion. This lightweight pack boasts a specially designed ventilated backpanel, allowing air to circulate between your back and the pack. With its spring steel frame, it offers exceptional support for heavy loads without sacrificing comfort or causing discomfort.

Packing and organizing your gear is a breeze with the convenient front U-zip access panel and bottom sleeping bag compartment. Need quick access to rain layers, maps, or other essentials? The front stash pocket is the perfect solution. Additionally, the side pockets are perfect for carrying two water bottles, and the integrated rain cover provides protection when unexpected showers strike. As an added bonus, the Zulu comes with the detachable Sidekick summit pack, allowing you to easily tackle quick hikes without carrying unnecessary gear.
