Whether we're thru-trekking the AT or backpacking our favorite state park, the Gregory Zulu 65 Backpack carries all the gear we need comfortably. The FreeFloat ventilated suspension system features a dynamic hip belt that flexes with our body movements for a body-hugging fit that maximizes our comfort when hauling a week's worth of gear on our back. The adjustable torso length lets us dial in our fit, while the open-air ventilated back panel and moisture-wicking mesh help keep our back as dry as possible. We especially like the U-zip front panel for easy access to all our gear—even what we've stashed at the bottom of our pack—and the rich array of external pockets, from the zippered pockets on the top lid down to the zippered sleeping bag compartment at the bottom of the pack. With a large, 65-liter capacity and so much convenient storage, this pack is the one that keeps us comfortable and organized on week-long backpacking trips and section hikes in between our re-supply stops on our thru-hike.
