Gregory Zulu 30 RC Medium/Large
The Gregory Zulu 30 RC Medium/Large is the ideal companion for all hiking enthusiasts who value comfort and functionality. With a capacity of 30 liters, this unisex backpack offers plenty of space for everything you need on your adventures. The durable nylon material is water-repellent and offers protection in changeable weather. A special highlight is the patented FreeFloat hip belt, which dynamically adapts to your every movement, ensuring optimal comfort.
The Zulu 30 RC stands out thanks to its well-designed front-loading construction, which gives you quick access to your gear through the large U-shaped zipper opening. The adjustable torso length and breathable mesh back panel ensure a custom fit and excellent ventilation, so you won’t break a sweat even on strenuous tours. Practical details like the large hip belt pockets for quick access to essential items and the integrated rain cover round out the package.
Another advantage of the Zulu 30 RC is its eco-friendly design. The main body of the backpack is made largely from recycled polyester and is PFAS-free, which reduces its environmental footprint. The comfortable shoulder straps are made of perforated LifeSpan foam, which provides additional air circulation. With mounts for trekking poles and a hydration system compartment, the Zulu 30 RC is perfectly tailored to the needs of hikers.
