Gregory zulu 65 excellent choice for lighter backpack - Gregory Zulu 65L Backpack

Just did Titcomb Basin in Wind Rivers. 3 day +/- 25 mile round trip. Tried on many other competitive packs to the Zulu but none fit right or dug into my shoulders. Great overall design and construction. I have the gold standard Gregory Shasta 88ltr for comparison but needed to cut weight. Figured Gregory would have good suspension and I was correct. The zippered main panel was handy for yanking my bag out in cramped circumstances. Only quibbles- has a few too many gee-gaws like plastic inner hydro bladder hanger, some clippy things on the straps, etc that add ounces. They could have designed the water bottle pockets better so you can drink without taking your pack off. Kind of slows the pace. Overall excellent choice in the weight and price range.
