Gregory Z55 Backpack - True Backpack Ventilation
The Gregory Z55 backpack is the second largest backpack in Gregory's 'Ventilated Backpacking' range. It is a popular model amongst backpackers and is designed for full-blown camping adventures lasting several days.
Like all Gregory backpacks, it is robust, flexible, fits like a dream and is wonderfully comfortable. You'll trailblaze for miles without even realising its there!
The Gregory Z55 backpack is a 'Ventilated' backpack meaning that it is designed to keep you cool, which can be an important consideration if you generally hike in hot climes. This true ventilation is thanks to the internal frame which minimises contact between the pack and the center of your back. Air is free to waft against the sweat on your back and gently wick it away.
As standard with Gregory backpacks, the Z55 comes in different sizes. This is because not all humans are equal and a given backpack cannot possibly fit a short person as comfortably as a tall person. Thus the small size Z55 has a capacity of 51 liters whereas the large size has a capacity of 61 liters.
If you find that you prefer the 61 liter size but your torso size is small (16-18") you should look into the small 'Z65' model. Similarly, if you find that you can make do with 51 liters but your back is big (20-22") you need to scale down to the 'Z45'.
Tried and tested, the Gregory Z55 backpack carrys upto 40lbs of weight which is distributed evenly across the hips thanks to the well designed waistbelt. Backpack weight does not increase significantly across the sizes. The small weighs 3lbs 13ozs and the large is just 6ozs more.
A great feature of the Z55 is the huge external pocket attached to the front of the pack which can hold loads of gear and act as a separate compartment altogether for wet clothes for example.
