      Comments about GREGORY Z40 Backpack:

      I purchased this pack sight unseen, but after a lot of research. Not disappointed. The pack is well made with zippers that actually work. The hip belt straps are a nice size and don't fold over and jam like some others. I like that it has a separate bag compartment, although it's obviously sized for ultralights (not surprising given the intended uses of the pack). Also includes a pack cover built into a little pocket underneath...very handy feature. We'll see how it performs after a few months of hard use, but I'm hopeful.

        Comments about GREGORY Z40 Backpack:

        I use this pack for day hikes. For years I used the Gregory Z22 and liked it, but I increasingly added more "survival" gear (bigger medical kit, gaiters, rope etc.) so the Z22 seemed a little cramped. Adding another 1000 cc's with the Z40 added very little weight and really improved the loading. It also seems to have a better suspension or for whatever reason feels more comfortable. My routine load is about 20 lbs.,and the pack could easily accomodate another 10 or so,although I have not yet used it for an overnighter. So I think it's the perfect size for someone like me who dayhikes 30 or so miles a week and occasionally camps out overnight. Great features too-- multiple access points, sleeping bag compartment and especially the two elasticized side pockets (water bottles and bear spray). Finally, EMS put it on sale, so the deal was good also. Very happy with it.

          I bought this backpack to take with me from the U.S. for hiking in the U.K. and it has been really wonderful. It is a good carry-on for flying and lovely for biking, walking and hiking around. The adjustable straps allow you to fir the pack to your body really comfortably!

            Comments about GREGORY Z40 Backpack:

            I ordered this bag for a week-long trip to Barcelona. It's sized just right for carry-on luggage, and I managed to pack just enough to get me through 1 week at a hostel in BCN. If you need to pack a bunch of different outfits for the club this isn't for you, but if you're packing light and seeing the sights like I did it's just fine.
