Lightweight but capable of comfortably carrying up to 40 pounds, the Gregory Zulu 65 internal frame pack is built for multi-day backpacking adventures. It's equipped with a well-ventilated and adjustable suspension system.
The pack’s Free Float suspension offers low-profile ventilation and moisture wicking dual-density EVA foam mesh on the backpanel and shoulder harness to aid in load transfer, provide cushioning and keeping you cool on the trail. A spring steel perimeter frame with fiberglass anti-barreling cross-stays supports the pack. The pack comes in Small/Medium (best fits 15"-19" torso sizes) and Medium/Large (18"-22") sizes to ensure a proper fit for varying back lengths and there is built in size customization to dial fit in even more precisely. A "comfort cradle" design in the hipbelt delivers a comfortable, body-hugging fit, while Float Bushings allow the hip belt and pack to flex and move with your body without compromising stability. An adjustable sternum strap (with integrated safety whistle) and load-lifter straps further enhance the fit of the pack and ensure the stability of your load.
The top-loading main compartment has over 3800 cubic inches of storage space and is accessed through a broad, draw-cord closure opening. The compartment is protected by a top lid that has two zippered storage pockets. There is also a U-shaped zippered entry that grants access to the interior of the pack without the lid needing to be removed. A separate lower front compartment is the perfect place to store a sleeping bag and a large front stretch pocket is ideal for wet or bulky gear best stored outside of the pack's interior. Other storage options include a sunglasses loop on the shoulder strap, large hip belt pockets, and a zippered top pocket. Other features include adjustable attachment loops for trekking poles or ice axe, side stretch water bottle pockets, a nifty sunglasses attachment system on the shoulder straps, and pass-through compression straps to keep contents secure without interfering with stowed water bottles (bottles not included). A custom fit raincover is included to keep you pack and its contents protected and drying wet hikes. An internal sleeve and an integrated drinking tube pass-through make the pack hydration system compatible (system sold separately).
