Product Description
Gregory Mountain Products Z 55 Backpack: Sports & Outdoors. Ultimate, Wayne realized that fit was king in the backpack business, and he pioneered many firsts, including being the first company to build backpacks in different frame, harness, and waist belt sizes; the first (and still only) pack manufacturer to develop a waist-belt system that adjusts to fit different hip angles, automatically improving load transfer; and developing the center-locking bar tack, a stitch that ends and locks off on the center of a seam instead of the side to improve strength at the major stress points. An ideal pack for overnight hikes, the Gregory z55 is comfortable and supportive while on the trail. The z55 is outfitted with the company's proprietary JetStream LTS suspension system, which uses a lightweight, thermo-molded framesheet to provide true airflow across your back. As a result, you'll feel as strong and refreshed toward the end of your hike as you did at the beginning. The framesheet also employs a hollow aluminum stay to support the load without adding excess weight. Best of all, the system's ventilated, wicking harness and waist-belt systems combine for all-day comfort, with a padded lumbar promoting a positive load transfer. Storage-wise, the z55--which comes in small, medium, and large sizes--includes a large main compartment, an expandable front bucket pocket, quick-access waist-belt pockets, and dual axe/tool attachment points. The z55 is even hydration compatible, with a hydration sleeve and dual ports. Other features include an Auto-Fit harness system, side and bottom compression, welded water-resistant zippers, and a tough exterior made of 210D HT double-box ripstop and broken twill nylon fabrics. All Gregory packs carry a lifetime warranty.

From the start, Wayne wasn't just meticulous about designing packs that improved upon fit and used the best materials available, he also wanted to know how his designs worked in the field and what he could do better, a heritage of accessibility that has continued to the present. In the early days, he loved to talk tech with customers at his retail store in San Diego, asking for feedback on what worked and what didn't. From the earliest days, Gregory packs were noted for their innovative design, ergonomic and comfortable fit, and high quality.
