Why We Love the Gregory Zulu 65L Backpack

Whether we are embarking on a thru-hike or exploring our favorite state park, the Gregory Zulu 65L Backpack is our go-to gear carrier. Its innovative FreeFloat ventilated suspension system adapts to our body movements, providing a snug fit that maximizes comfort when carrying a week's worth of equipment. With an adjustable torso length, we can customize the fit to perfection. Plus, the open-air ventilated back panel and moisture-wicking mesh keep our back dry even during intense adventures.

One of our favorite features is the U-zip front panel, which allows for easy access to all our gear, including items at the bottom of the pack. Additionally, this backpack offers a plethora of external pockets, from the zippered compartments on the top lid to the dedicated sleeping bag compartment at the bottom. With its generous 65-liter capacity and convenient storage solutions, the Gregory Zulu 65L keeps us comfortable and organized during week-long backpacking trips and section hikes on our thru-hike.
