      Comments about Gregory Z35 Pack:

      My wife and I had North Face day packs and they were very uncomfortable and did not fit us right. I purchased the Gregory Palisades backpacking pack and loved it. The REI sales person suggested that we check out the day packs from gregory.We ended up returning the northface and picked up this one. It was a little more expensive than the others, but worth it. The pack is really comfortable and holds a lot. I like to have a lot of stuff with me on day hikes, so this was the bag for me. fits great, lots of pockets, and easy to get in and out of, even in winter gear when we have been snowshoeing this winter. It has a nice roomy sleeve for a bladder and great outside pockets on the waist for compass, knife, flint, etc. if you want to carry more than a powerbar and stick of gum on a day hike, check out this bag as a great mid range size solution for your day hiking needs. I love this pack

      Comments about Gregory Z35 Pack:

      Pros are that it fits me, I have been through so many different packs. The problem I find as a person with a 22" torso, is that many of the packs that would meet my needs, are too short and place pressure on my lower back. It is great to be able to access all of the contents of the pack with the zipper. My main complaint is that there are not enough pockets.
      I really wish some of these higher end back pack companies would take something from CamelBak and provide a seperate insulated compartment for the bladder. This would eliminate numerous issues that I have found.

        Comments about Gregory Z35 Pack:

        I tried on every pack in the 30-40L range, and this one was the easy choice. I own its Z55 big brother for the same reasons I bought this one. Whereas other pack frames like the Deuter Futura and Osprey Stratos dug into my hips, this one was pure comfort from the beginning. I love the fact that there aren't tons of tiny pockets that add senseless weight, and that the main compartment can be accessed from the front. Every aspect of this pack has been thoroughly thought out. I'm using this pack for day trips, skiing, and will be using it as my ascent pack on a 20K+ peak near Everest.

          This is a great pack and is quite diverse considering it's size. It's an awsome day pack and works very well on overnighters. I can even pack enogh stuff for a couple of nights in this bag. The padding is great and the access to your gear is great.

            Comments about Gregory Z35 Pack:

            I looked at every pack on the market and the Z35 had all the features of the larger packs but the versatility of a day pack. Little details like elastic keepers to tie down loose straps etc. The shoulder pads are thinner than some but as you wear the pack you realize they are there merely for stability and carry very little of the load. The suspesion is outstanding and all the weight is on your hips where it should be.

            I took this pack up into the Sandias on the winding desert trails above Albuquerque... fantastic day pack as well as 2-3 day backcountry trips. I can strap my sleeping pad and tent to the outside (there's still plenty of attachment points left). I can carry stove, sleeping bag 70 oz bladder, 2 32 oz nalgenes (outside pockets), change of clothes/socks and food for two days and it comes in right at 30lbs. Very verisitile pack!

              Comments about Gregory Z35 Pack:

              I tried on several day packs before purchasing this one and I found this one to be comfortable, to fit my long torso (I'm 6'3''), and to have many features of a full-size backpack. The padded waist belt with accessible side pockets is great and the straps adjust easily to include the load lifters. The frame structure and mesh in the back keep your back from sweating as much. I use it primarily on day hikes of 7-10 miles in the Smoky Mountains and I always carry enough water and food for the day. It has numerous compartments and pockets that allow you to organize your stuff. Although I have not tried it yet, it does have a pouch for a bladder drinking system. I look forward to many comfortable hikes wearing this pack.

              Comments about Gregory Z35 Pack:

              Gregory makes great packs. After going through a few trying to find the one for me, I ended up with the Z35 for extended day trips. It's not big enough for overnighters, unfortunately, unless you don't have a tent. I could fit all my gear, including a bear canister into the z35, but the support wasn't there. That's not the point of this bag (the Z65 is). The reason I ended up with this over all others (and why I stick to Gregory) is because of the support you get with the bag. Almost all the weight can be transfered to your lower back and hips, making the pack easy on most of your back. While you may get more weight with the bulked up padding, the comfort and support you get outweighs it. Also, the airflow through the back is very nice, until you get up on a ridge on a windy day and your back can actually get too cold with the wind whipping through to your sweat soaked back.
