Perfect Fit For A Big Body

This is my first proper backpack. I’m a big guy and the Plus Size was a must. Since you can’t easily find these sizes to try on, Gregory was very helpful over the phone answering all my questions. I ordered the Zulu 65 and got ready for my first trip. It was incredibly overloaded, probably right at its published limit, and it carried it well. It felt great and even better with a more reasonable load inside. I look forward to many adventures with this pack.

Like The Pack But Chest Strap Malfunction

Chest strap on 2 snapped before we made it to the airport. We returned one and then bought from 3rd party bc of color preference, then that one broke off, same seam n chest strap ripped off when putting back on after security.

Excellent Pack, Impressed!

Excellent pack. Just got back from 2 days in Sawtooth Mountains and it was excellent. Love the pockets and the comfort of the pack. High quality and a great all around pack that worked well for my 6’5” height.

So Many Features That Fit Me Well

This one was a warranty replacement for me. But I love the fit, and is ability to carry everything I've needed for several 5 night trips and still feel good after 8-10 miles in.

I Like It A Lot, But.....

I am a huge fan of Gregory backpacks, with the Zulu 65 being an addition to my Baltoro 75. I bought the Zulu 65 last year and have used it about 400 miles on the PCT and a few other very small trips. By far this is the most comfortable pack I have owned to date. Overall, I like the features, especially the hipbelt pockets which fit my phone (small iPhone) perfectly and other miscellaneous items, like my Spot and pocket knife. The side pockets, made of stretchy material, are perfect for easily slipping water bottles in and out. The mesh back panel, is a bit slippery, but is comfortable and it keeps your back cool. Another reviewer said the backpack did not come with a rain cover, but mine did. My only complaint, is that after a few hundred miles of use, is that the hipbelt seams are starting to tear at the bottom (unfortunately I could not add pics to this review). I have never overloaded this pack, thus I am quite surprised at the weak sewing job. I had planned on using this pack to complete the PCT this year, however, I do not trust this pack to make it to the finish line.
