Description

  

Big enough for an overnight, light enough for a day hike

The Zulu 45 uses a dynamic FreeFloat suspension, providing comfort in all environments. With an athletic look, full adjustability, and refined materials, we straddled the line between a daypack and overnighter.

  Precise Fit Adjustable Torso

  With the ability to fit exactly to your back the adjustable torso length provides 3.5” of adjustment allowing for a custom fit without compromising support.

  Open-air Backpanel

  Full-length tensioned mesh creates space between your back and the pack to allow for heat to escape and air to flow freely to cool you down.

  Freefloat Dynamic Hipbelt

  Gregory’s patented construction links the hipbelt to the frame with a panel designed to move and flex with your body. The hipbelt design conforms to the shape of your body, seamlessly providing the padding and support needed to carry heavy loads.

  Breathable Shoulder Harness

  Constructed from Lifespan foam to provide a generations worth of comfort, the harnesses are perforated to maximize airflow and comfort on the trail

  Perimeter Frame

  Designed around the architectural principles of tension and compression, the perimeter frame provides stable, yet flexible support to comfortably carry the load on your back.

Swedish Luxury SUV Gets Quality Updates: 2025.5 Volvo XC90 Review
  While just a mid-cycle update, the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 gets some quality updates. But more importantly, it keeps so much of what makes it a Volvo.

G3 Returns: Canadian Sports Company Revives Shuttered Ski Brand
  Following a court-ordered restructure in August 2024, the Canadian backcountry ski brand Genuine Gear Guide (G3) faced a tumultuous future. On Aug. 9, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered a Canadian accounting firm, Deloitte, to take over G3s assets and make a plan to liquidate them.

The Secret to a Perfectly Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey? Cheap Champagne.
  For the last decade, I’ve been brining my Thanksgiving turkeys in champagne. The technique has produced delicious, consistent results from campsites in Big Sur, California, and Baja, Mexico—and in everything from frying oil to pellet grills to standard home ovens. To prove champagnes efficacy in producing a juicy, tender bird, I tested a champagne brine against a typical water-based one....
70 Miles a Day? 800-Mile Arizona Trail FKT Was ‘An Absolute Blast’
  When Nick Fowler started his record-setting fastest known time (FKT) run of the Arizona Trail, its safe to say that his condition was far from perfect. Fowler and his wife welcomed their first child, Canyon, at the end of September. So, he was sleep-deprived and way behind on training.   He first embarked on the trail on Oct. 24, ran over...

The Best Men’s Wool Sweaters of 2024
  We used to associate wool sweaters with being trapped in itchy, sweaty, bulky hotboxes that we had to endure until our parents finally let us take them off. In the years since, weaving techniques and treatments have turned these wearable saunas into soft, breathable, premium garments.   Most wool varieties come from sheep (especially the lauded merino), but others come from...

This Game-Changing Device Could Upend Training as We Know It
  Back in 2021, cycling’s international governing body, the UCI, issued a new set of rules banning the use of devices measuring “any metabolic values such as but not limited to glucose or lactate” in competition. The rules were aimed at the emerging use of continuous glucose monitors in the peloton, but the mention of lactate sparked widespread curiosity. Did the...
