Took this pack on a two night trio in the Tetons. Really liked it! I have the ZULU 30 as well, and like that one just as much. I believe the suspension is every bit as good as osprey and the hip belt hugs you very nice and has great storage. I tried on a bunch of packs at local outfitters and wasn't really impressed that much by anything. Then I saw that I could get the ZULU in larger sizes and jumped on it. Don't regret it at all.

I'm a big guy - 6'4", 280 pounds and classic dad bod with more around the middle than I wish I had. This fits well for my broad shoulders, is comfortable and adjustable. I like it. My only real wishes for it were that it had more individual pockets/compartments (because I like to have stuff organized instead of stuffed) and that it had a more accommodating waistband for my size, which is hard to find.

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020
A lightweight pack with good suspension. My third Gregory pack as I’ve always liked the comfort and adjustments. I’m not completely happy with the adjustable frame as it uses a velcro pad to move the shoulder straps up or down based on torso length. When picking It up by the straps to put it back on the velcro pad comes and has to be readjusted. Another issue is the sternum strap pulls free from the shoulders straps when adjusting. Easy to put back on because it comes off so easily. Sadly the strap made it back from two trips but is somewhere on the Art Loeb trail now. The water bottle pockets are also too far back and pack has to be removed to access these.

I contacted seller and nobody responded. Zulu is running on smaller size and don't recommend somebody with wide shoulder. Price was right and I was hoping I will receive what I order.
