Gregory Z35-R (2009) Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! The Gregory Z35-R employs lightweight, high-tenacity fabrics and an innovative, streamlined suspension system to provide load-carrying performance. The Z35-R can be used as a high-performance daypack or as an ultra-light option for overnights and weekend backcountry trips.

Having spent numerous years and countless miles out on the trail, the designers at Gregory are well aware of the problems that arise from ill-fitting backpacks. Unwilling to compromise comfort or load-carrying capability, Gregory's commitment to providing the perfect fit is evident in the technology used in their harness and Jet Stream suspension systems. A single lightweight, hollow stay and a molded and perforated V-beam framesheet work in tandem to support the stability of the Z35-R by distributing weight evenly and transferring the load to your hips. Though incredibly lightweight, the JetStream LTS (Load Transfer Suspension) suspension system is strong enough to tackle up to 40 pounds of gear! The ventilated moisture wicking harnesses, waistbelt and backpanel enhance fit, aid in load transfer, provide cushioning and keep you cool on the trail. A sternum strap and load-lifter straps further enhance the fit of the Z35-R and ensure the stability of your load, allowing convenient adjustment while on the trail.

The single main compartment of the Z35-R has an extendible top entry with a roll-top closure. This design is used in lieu of an actual "lid" and effectively reduces the overall weight of the Z35-R. The medium Z35-R provides 2135 cubic inches of internal storage capacity. A large zippered front pocket provides a secure place to secure additional gear and a huge "bucket" pocket with mesh sides offers convenient storage for gear or wet clothes. All of the zippers used on the Z35-R are designed to be weather resistant. The Z35-R also includes side compression straps, quick-access waistbelt pockets and gear loops. An integrated sleeve and exit port make the Z35-R hydration compatible.

Made of durable 210D HT "double box" rip-stop nylon fabric, the Gregory Z35-R is available in S, M and L size options and your choice of Olea Green or Flint Gray color options.
