Reviews & Ratings for Gregory Z40 Pack — 13 reviews — Page 1

I owe several backpacks.This one is my latest.Love it ! Comfortable,perfect capacity and easy access to all compartments.I was looking for this size backpacks.This backpack is pushing me to hike more.I am 5.11 and L size was made for me.

Amazing pack for traveling. Lived out of this pack in thailand and indonesia for the last month and it worked great :)

I bought this pack and took it the next week on a 100 mile solo hike through Allegheny National Forest via the North Country Trail. Previously I had used a cheap 50$ pack from amazon.

Pros:
This pack is amazingly adjustable. The amount of strap and ease of use is perfect. I have tried out Osprey and I believe Gregory is the winner here.

It's quite light weight and for its size it can hold a lot. I packed for 6 days with this pack. I strapped my tent and sleeping bag to the bottom since there is no compartment. On shorter hikes i'll put the sleeping bag inside.

The outer compartments are great and very useful. The duffel bag tupe U-zipper is great too if you don't like digging around your pack looking for something.

The hip straps work very well and are decently comfortable. More padding could be nice.

The color (blue) is very sharp looking and the price (~100$) was right.

Cons:
There aren't many cons.

The shoulder straps are quite nice, but after loading 35lbs you definitely noticed the weight after a few hours. But again I was hiking 20 miles a day carrying 35 pounds. Soreness may just be par for the course. The Osprey packs have crazy padding, which I have not hiked with to evaluate.

After 80 miles or so the part of the pack that was in contact with my tailbone became uncomfortable. Not terrible but maybe more padding would be nice for heavier loads.

Conclusion:
The Zulu is the new model and is supposed to be revamped to fix the cons listed abo...

This backpack is fantastic. Perfect size for a day hike or an overnighter. Very comfortable on longer trips. No doubt the nicest pack I've owned.

It was my first time shopping on site,experience good.Backpack is of good quality，very comfortable when I'm outdoors

Excellent organization, very light weight, extremely comfortable for the weight loads I am using it for (25-30 pounds)

The new type, a little too small

The backpack is just what I was looking for

The gregory z40 is everything I needed for my needs, I just got back from using it. I used a couple of packs and this one is quality.

Solid design and great support.
