The lightweight revolution continues with the Gregory Z55. This backpack weighs in at a svelte 3 pounds 5 ounces (medium). It will hold all the gear you need for your ultralight backpacking adventure. Gregory Packs also made sure that you wouldn’t overheat wearing the Z 55 by equipping it with their Jet Stream Suspension. The Jet Stream includes a perforated frame sheet and a mesh back panel in order to promote ventilation. The padded harness and waist-belt also feature moisture-wicking mesh, to keep you from getting all sweaty underneath your pack. Padding in the lumbar region and at the shoulder blades makes carrying your load comfortable while the aluminum stays give you lightweight vertical load support. Get into the Z55 from the top or the side, and load your quick access items, like snacks, your camera, or rain shell, in the external pockets or your waist-belt pockets. Even though the Z 55 is lightweight, it is still made with super durable materials. The 210D High tenacity ripstop and twill nylon will stand up to years of abuse. It comes in 3 sizes: Small: 3,050 cu. in. / 3 lbs. 2 oz., Medium: 3,350 cu. in. / 3 lbs. 5 oz., Large: 3,660 cu. in. / 3 lbs. 8 oz.

Gregory Mountain Products has set a Retail Price of $189 for the Z55 Backpack
