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.

The Transformative Power of Pedaling
  Unless you’ve experienced paralysis, it’s hard to fathom the loss of freedom it entails. A single life-altering moment can halt the most mundane daily errands. And impromptu outings with friends? They can become riddled with mobility barriers.   For Roy Tuscany, who was paralyzed from the waist down almost 20 years ago, e-bikes have begun to restore that freedom with surprising...
These Outdoor Spaces Have Been Scientifically Proven to Calm You Down
  Have you ever wondered why your mind suddenly feels unburdened in the presence of trees? Or why the ocean so effortlessly lulls you into a meditative state? Outdoor spaces are scientifically proven to soothe the nervous system—and quickly.   Think about it: Forests ground you. Mountains lift you. Water opens you. Jungles awaken you. Even sitting in a park beneath a...
Our Editors Picked the Best SPF Lip Balms
  We know that sunscreen helps protect your skin from sun damage. That’s not news. But what about your lips? I’ve personally never really thought to put some form of sun protection on my lips, because, like, why? I assume it would also just come off my lips anytime I absent-mindedly lick them, take a sip of water, or eat literally...

A New Theory Explains Why Exercise Makes Us Tired
  Back in 2011, I went to an international conference in the Australian town of Bathurst called “The Future of Fatigue: Defining the Problem.” The feeling you encounter, say, 20 miles into a marathon may seem too self-evident to require any deep explanation, but it turns out to be surprisingly difficult to pin down. In psychology, there’s a widespread belief that...
Florida Is Considering Making It Legal to Hunt Bears Again
  The Sunshine State is in the process of approving a proposal that would create an annual hunt to cull black bear populations. The three-week hunt, to take place in December, would be the first such event in a decade. A chaotic 2015 hunt was stopped early after over 300 bears were killed in just two days. More than half of...
Scientists Detected a “Swarm” of Earthquakes Below Mount Rainier
  Mount Rainier has the shakes.   According to a report from the U.S. Geological Survey, the 14,410-foot mountain endured approximately 391 individual earthquakes between July 8 and July 11, marking the most seismically active period in the peaks recorded history.   But dont worry—scientists dont think its a sign of anything bad. The USGS noted that not only are the quakes too...
As a Neurodivergent Person, Traveling Entails Prioritizing My Mental Health and Avoiding Overstimulation
  Growing up, I hated traveling, though I couldn’t pinpoint why. All I knew was that the unfamiliarity of everything from hotel bed sheets to cultural customs felt wholly dysregulating.   When I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism at the ages of 19 and 22, respectively, everything clicked into place, and I was catapulted into a journey of self-discovery and acceptance....
How to Fall Asleep Earlier, According to Ancient Science
  Do you regularly wake up feeling groggy and like you didn’t sleep enough? In our fast-paced existence, adequate sleep can feel not only elusive but like an act of radical self-care.   Many of us are accustomed to an emphasis on how long we sleep, with the recommended amount being 7 to 9 hours. But a 5,000-year-old system of medicine, known...
Netflix, Barfing, and Rivalries: Five Zany Tour de France Stories You May Have Missed
  Cyclists competing in the 2025 Tour de France rumbled into the city of Toulouse on Wednesday, July 16, and some of them no doubt reflected on the handful of compelling—and downright zany—situations to come out of the events first 11 stages.   Throughout this Tour there has been bad blood, barfing, blogging, and all manners of drama and controversy. Yep—pretty standard...
Veronica Aimee Chik Is 9 Years Old, and She Just Made Climbing History
  On July 8, nine-year-old Veronica Aimee Chik became the youngest person ever to send 5.14b (8c) with her ascent of Fish Eye in Oliana, Spain. She dethroned the previous record holder, French climber Théo Blass, by one year.   “I believe in myself! I can top the route!” Chik repeated to herself as she worked the sustained overhanging wall. More than...
Who Made the Giant Elon Musk Head Spotted at Arches National Park?
  Billionaire Elon Musk was recently spotted touring Utahs Arches National Park.   Well, kinda.   On Saturday, July 12, visitors to the park were greeted by a 12-foot tall sculpture of the tech kingpin’s head, his expression chiseled into a self-satisfied smirk. The massive effigy was towed around the park in a trailer behind a white pickup truck.   The sculpture was accompanied...
