Very good backpack. I have had it for a year and a half now. During this time, the only drawback is that the logo on the flap has started to wear off, and the rain cover does not provide the best protection. However, I am fully satisfied with the rest. The most important thing is that during hot weather, my back does not get sweaty under the backpack. I use it both for short trips as well as for everyday use in the city, because I don't like carrying things in my hands.
Gregory Zulu M/L Backpack 40 l - Desert Tan
40-liter hiking backpack in Desert Tan, made of 420D nylon and Rip-Stop polyester. This combination of materials ensures resistance to wear, further enhanced by the double-layered bottom. The lightweight aluminum frame allows stable and comfortable carrying of equipment. The carry system used in this model in size M/L is intended for users with a back length of 45.7 - 53.3 cm.
spacious main compartment, internal pocket
The main compartment is closed from the top with a flap featuring a fastex buckle and by means of a zipper. An additional divider with a clip for attaching keys and an internal zip pocket help keep handy accessories organized. On the front and sides of the backpack there are elastic mesh pockets intended for a water bottle or bidon. An additional advantage is also the hydration bladder pocket with the SpeedClip attachment system.
FreeFloat system, aluminum frame, ergonomic shoulder straps, hip belt and chest strap
The backpack is equipped with the FreeFloat system connecting the hip belt to the aluminum frame. It allows adjustment of the back panel and adapting it to the user's height -the adjustment range is 9 cm. The moisture-wicking mesh ensures air circulation between the back and the rear wall of the backpack.
The carry system consists of ergonomic shoulder straps with foam padding and adjustment options, a padded wide 3D hip belt (with additional pockets), and a detachable chest strap. This solution allows the carried weight to be distributed evenly.
carry handle, waterproof cover, loops
On the side, loops for attaching ice axes or trekking poles are sewn on. The sturdy carry handle allows the backpack to be carried comfortably by hand. The integrated waterproof cover, located in an easily accessible pocket on the main flap, will protect the contents from rain.

A well-designed and well-made backpack. Thanks to the mesh on the front panel, you can save a lot of space for items in the inner compartment. Good carrying system and hip belt equipped with pockets. It comes with an integrated rain cover hidden at the bottom of the backpack.
