Gregory Zulu 45L Unisex Hiking/Backpacking Pack, Freefloat Hipbelt, Internal Hydration Sleeve For Water Bladder, (Reservoir Not Included), Medium/Large, Forage Green

Figure I'll leave a brief review now that I've put about 100 hard miles on this pack. After trying some lower end packs that always left me sore and uncomfortable I decided to try the gregory. It was worth every penny in my opinion. I regularly do 15-20 mile hikes with up to 6,000+ feet of elevation gain and not once have I been burdened or left sore from this pack. Where others lack support and comfort, the zulu has never left me sore or fatigued. My only two slight issues with it would be that for a leaner build, the hip belt barely has enough adjustment. I have it tightened as far as I can, and it works, but just. Plenty of adjustment for bigger builds. The other being the frame can sometimes be a little cumbersome for climbing ledges where you need to move your whole body In weird ways. (Though I probably shouldn't be rock climbing with a pack this big anyways) I love everything else about it. The storage, the zippers, the padding. Everything has held up great and I'm not easy on things. Great pack, worth the extra $
