Gregory Zulu 40 RC Medium/Large
The Gregory Zulu 40 RC Medium/Large is the ideal companion for all hiking enthusiasts who prioritize comfort and functionality on both day trips and overnight hikes. This backpack combines a generous 40-liter capacity with a well-thought-out design tailored to the needs of hikers. Thanks to the adjustable torso length, which offers a 9 cm range of adjustment, the backpack adapts perfectly to any body size and ensures a custom fit without compromising support.
The Zulu 40 is equipped with the patented FreeFloat hip belt, which flexibly adapts to the wearer’s movements, making it easier to carry heavy loads. The backpack’s well-thought-out design, including a continuous mesh panel on the back, ensures optimal ventilation and prevents heat buildup against the back. This makes it comfortable to wear, even on long hikes. In addition, the large hip belt pockets offer ample space for essential items that need to be quickly accessible.
With its rugged nylon construction and eco-friendly, PFAS-free design, the Zulu 40 offers not only durability but also sustainable features. The U-shaped zipper opening allows for quick access to the main compartment, while the integrated hydration system pocket and rain cover provide additional functionality. Whether on a challenging mountain hike or a leisurely stroll through nature, this backpack is the perfect companion for any occasion.
