Gregory Mountain Products Zulu 30 Liter Men's Day Hiking Backpack

背負い心地はさすがグレゴリー．背中も風通しがよく，ハイドレーション対応なので，夏には良いんじゃないでしょうか．

I was looking for a trampoline suspension backpack. Comparing with osprey stratos 34 Pros - huge frontal mesh pockets - water bladder tube coming out front the top - looks better Cons - I like tiny loops on zippers than tiny sticks. Gregory salvo also has that tiny loop so it is not Patten issue - (personal issue) Its shoulder harness doesn't lay flat on my torso. So the weight didn't get distributed evenly through whole shoulder harness. - osprey stratos shoulder harness will go thru a tiny loop on hip belt, it makes stratos kind of lean forward, ease some pressure on your shoulder. This one does not, so your shoulders do more effort. Everytime when I try to get backpack getting close to lay on my back, I feel more pressure on my shoulders with zulu. Others: - this one is thinner and taller (24'), may not fit in some smaller carry in cabin. Also it is narrower than stratos, may be an issue if you want to put something wide.

This pack is pretty much perfect. I use it for overnight camping/backpacking (with a minimal set-up), as well as day hiking. Firm suspension enables it to carry heavy loads very well. It has pockets and compression straps everywhere you want them. The hipbelt pockets fit a large cell phone and the mesh pocket on the back is big enough for a rain jacket or tent body. Has internal pocket and hanger for water bladder, as well as tube holder on shoulder strap. Only complaint is that top zipper is difficult to zip.

It was between this Gregory pack and the Gregory Amber pack. I choose the amber but really liked this one also better than all the ospray packs I tried! Wanted a day pack that I could use in the winter also when you need a lot more stuff. Haven't used it yet though but am so looking forward to it.

If you need something a little more substantial than a typical daypack, yet don’t want a huge expedition pack, this is perfect. For long day hikes or light overnights, this pack distributes weight perfectly with it’s suspension and soft hipbelt. Also, this pack is much larger than any other “30 liter” I’ve ever seen.
