GregoryMountain Products Zulu 65 Liter Men's Overnight Hiking Backpack

Huge Gregory fan. I’ve owned many and this pack is no disappointment. Amongst the highlights are the shoulder straps and the suspension system which “floats” the pack off your back for cooling. I love this bag, but ultimately chose the Gregory Paragon WITHOUT the suspension. Personal thing, but this size bag is for winter (have a Zulu 35 for summer) and don’t need as much ventilation in winter. The advantage to the Paragon is it puts the load tight against your back. - but you lose the zippered entry of the Zulu. Your call, but for warm weather I’d buy this bag.

I wish the attachment straps for the sleeping bag in the bottom had more room I think a max of 8 inches in diameter is all you can do.. but I will just have to buy a different long/narrow compression sack for it. But all and all an awesome, comfortable roomy and stylish backpack.. not to mention it's a great deal .. this is still selling on Grogory's website at the full price of 229.99$ . 👍

I used to use z65 for 8 years, then I replaced it to zulu65 which is comfortable to carry on my back as same as z65 further more it become much lighter and so many features are improved. Thank Gregory for the nice product.

I am going to reach out to Gregory to discuss a replacement. I will update this review depending on their response.

It is just what I wanted. Looking forward to years of enjoyment
