Gregory Z-30 Backpack

Not too big for a short evening hike, not too small for a full day of scrambling and summits-the Gregory Z-30 is just right, like the Goldilocks of everyday packs. Updated for 2014 to be 10% lighter than the previous model. Proprietary CrossFlo suspension system provides cooling airflow across the back without sacrificing load transfer. Ventilated, trampoline-style backpanel automatically tensions and increases in stiffness as you add weight to the pack. Lightweight wire X-frame provides superior load transfer directly to the lumbar pad and waistbelt; dynamic yoke integrates the shoulder harness directly to the X-frame for a perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness. Die-cut foam on harness and waistbelt enhances breathability and cuts down on weight. Extended zippered top load access with exterior zippered top pocket. Front bucket pocket and dual quick-access waistbelt pockets keep smaller gear organized and easily accessible. Features a hydration reservoir sleeve with port, as well as water bottle pockets on the sides. Side and bottom compression straps help reduce pack volume and secure your gear. Includes hideaway axe/trekking pole loops with secure carry. Ideal for carrying loads up to 35 lb. (great for a 1-2 night backpacking trip).
