Gregory Men's Zulu 30 Sm/Md Backpack

Product Information

I had an interesting conversation with a friend last night who owns a store in a relatively small chain of outdoor stores in Western Canada (Valhalla Pure Outfitters) after he went to your sit on my recommendation. He understands your running a business with the Big Outdoors but was frustrated by your readers being directed to big retail outlets at the expense of local shops. Even though it’s a lightweight model, the Optic comes with fully padded shoulder straps and waist belt. The Exos is not adjustable. However, it comes in three different sizes. I didn’t have a hard time finding a size that fits me well.

My favorite thing about Osprey’s All Mighty Guarantee is the fact that the company will repair any damage free of charge. The Ariel has a classic feature set plus a few extras. There are a couple of attachment points that allow you to carry extra gear, a rain cover, and a large sleeping bag compartment. I really like the well-designed shoulder straps. They are wide, nicely articulated, and ergonomically shaped. Constructed from Lifespan foam to provide a generations worth of comfort, the shoulder harnesses are perforated to maximize airflow and comfort on the trail. Particularly great in the suspension which you have here is also the lumbar area, with an excellent padding and a ventilation channel, just see the picture above.

Where to Buy

It is more difficult to use than Osprey Sunyco’s hydration reservoir. I spend a couple months each year traveling and leading tours in some cities, but mostly through the rugged country side of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea.. I like to evaluate how environmentally friendly the brand is when I research and review outdoor gear. I’d say that Osprey is one of the more sustainable and eco-conscious brands.

I’m carrying an Osprey Manta 28 bought in 2018. It’s too small, kinda heavy, and is quite angular and cumbersome as a carry-on… plus the hip belt is wimpy.Bungee helmet tab, blinker light patch, ice axe loop and bungee holder, front-side pole carry bungee loops I am eager to hear from you. And I appreciate the enthusiastic and professional way you scamper into your work…

The Gregory Endo boasts an adjustable suspension system, a large 3-liter 3D-Hydro water bladder, and outstanding storage and organization. Hydration sleeve with SpeedClip hydration hanger compatible with Gregory’s 3D Hydro reservoirs (reservoir not included). Hydration sleeve with SpeedClip hydration hanger compatible with Gregory's 3D Hydro reservoir (reservoir not included) The suspension system you have here is simply great, this is what Gregory calls CrossFlo ventilated suspension. This is a suspended mesh, or trampoline-type system, the best possible for ventilation.I hope those suggestions are helpful. I would be very curious to hear what you decide on. Thanks again for the question. It boasts incredible ventilation and many useful features. But what really sets it apart from most other brands, including Gregory, is its one-of-a-kind anti-gravity suspension. However, all of these cool features come with a weight penalty. The Endo is even heavier than the Osprey Syncro.

Shoulder straps are beautifully designed, anatomic and with a great padding. The same material is on the waist belt.

Hikers willing to accept a small weight penalty for more carrying capacity and superior comfort, access, versatility, and durability, will love the Mystery Ranch Coulee 30. Ease of Use: All features are easy to use, but the sheer amount of features can increase the learning curve. So that the load wouldn’t shift much as you walk over difficult terrain, the shoulder straps are securely connected to the frame. I’ve used it on several 5-day hiking trips so far, and it has proven to be very reliable. I’m not surprised that the Atmos has developed a cult-like following among outdoor enthusiasts.
