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 Oddly Comforting Void of a Sensory Deprivation Tank
  When I invited my friend Sarah to join me in trying sensory deprivation tanks, as invented in 1954 by a so-called “consciousness researcher” named John C. Lilly, I saw a flash of understanding on her big-eyed face. She pulled up, on her phone, a vintage movie poster with the words: UNWITTINGLY, HE TRAINED A DOLPHIN TO KILL THE PRESIDENT OF...

Maybe the Best Deal in Knives: Morakniv Companion Fixed-Blade Review
  Like the Opinel No.08 Inox, the Morakniv Companion’s excellence owes largely to its paltry price. At $16, you could afford it with money from a kids paper route. But most importantly, the Morakniv Companion punches way beyond its price tag when it comes to performance and quality.   Realistically, youd have to pay three times as much to find a knife...

I’m a Ski Instructor Who Fell 500 Feet Down a Couloir. Here’s What I Want Skiers To Know.
  About three hours after I tomahawked halfway down Central Couloir, the steepest and most visible line in Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s sidecountry, the doctor in the emergency room at St. John’s Health asked if I had seen the video.   “He’s joking,” I said to my daughter.   “I’m not joking,” he responded. “I also work for Search and Rescue. Do you...
Palatial Camp Tent Inflates in Minutes: Rise Outdoor AirNEST Review
  Rain was imminent, maybe 20 minutes away, and Id just arrived at camp. With no time to waste, I upended the stuff sack and unrolled the tent — not a single pole or stake to be found.   Instead, I plugged in an automatic air pump, flipped the switch, and as it whirred to life, I watched my Rise AirNEST tent...
