Gregory Z 65 Backpacking Backpack
Voted Superb Fit- Backpacker Magazine's Gear of the Year Awards 2009
When weight and durability are at a premium, the Gregory Z 65 Backpacking Backpack is the perfect blend; a versatile option for weekend trips or ultra-light, multi-day backpacking trips. Its lightweight design carries up to 45 pounds by providing the perfect load carrying fit via its Z65 harness and JetStream LTS (Load Transfer Suspension) suspension systems. A single lightweight, hollow stay and a molded, perforated V-beam framesheet combine for stability and to distribute weight evenly. The freely ventilated moisture wicking harnesses, waistbelt and backpanel enhance fit, aid in load transfer, provide cushioning and keep you cool on the trail. An adjustable sternum strap and load-lifter straps enhance the fit to ensure stability while on-the-go. Access to the single main compartment is gained through an extendible drawstring top entry or zippered front entry, while a large zippered front pocket and mesh side pockets provide further storage and secure places to quick stash gear. Additional performance features include an extendible lid, bottom compression straps, quick-access waistbelt pockets, weather-resistant zippers, and trekking pole/tool attachment loops. An integrated sleeve and dual exit ports make it hydration compatible.

Great back pack
My friend wants this backpack, so I bought and gave him. He really likes it. It's compact size, and not too heavy. Next time, I will buy it again for my father.

Great Pack
In fact, I feel very good to carry up the Z65. The back at the top is quite close by my shoulders, but the belt is the most that I concerned about. It can only be transferred to 28" or so. My waist is between 27-27.5", so I have a relaxed feeling of the waist. A little bit hard to share the weight of the backpack to my hip (my torso is 18.5). As for the heat, then this bag is really OK. Since the back has a breathable mesh and has a curvature of the stent. That is the breathable back pad and AeroTech could enhance the air flow. As for the capacity, I think the front of the bag, side pockets, top bags are easy to use, but the internal main bag seems to be a little bit small because of the curved support system. I do really love this bag and is ok to those small things since I am very comfortable with their support system even for a trip more than 4 days.

Good pack and design
Gregory Z65 is a best pick to me for the large backpack. It is big enough to me for a three to four days trip that my wife still could use a smaller pack (30L). Of course, it is also good in the trip that more than three days depends on what gears you are using. It is a light weight pack
