Description

  

Big enough for an overnight, light enough for a day hike

The Zulu 45 uses a dynamic FreeFloat suspension, providing comfort in all environments. With an athletic look, full adjustability, and refined materials, we straddled the line between a daypack and overnighter.

  Precise Fit Adjustable Torso

  With the ability to fit exactly to your back the adjustable torso length provides 3.5” of adjustment allowing for a custom fit without compromising support.

  Open-air Backpanel

  Full-length tensioned mesh creates space between your back and the pack to allow for heat to escape and air to flow freely to cool you down.

  Freefloat Dynamic Hipbelt

  Gregory’s patented construction links the hipbelt to the frame with a panel designed to move and flex with your body. The hipbelt design conforms to the shape of your body, seamlessly providing the padding and support needed to carry heavy loads.

  Breathable Shoulder Harness

  Constructed from Lifespan foam to provide a generations worth of comfort, the harnesses are perforated to maximize airflow and comfort on the trail

  Perimeter Frame

  Designed around the architectural principles of tension and compression, the perimeter frame provides stable, yet flexible support to comfortably carry the load on your back.

What I Discovered About Happiness in Finland
  On my first inhale after leaving the puddle jumper that had brought us to the Kittila Airport, my nose hairs froze. Despite it being 9 a.m., the stars still winked overhead, here at the top of the world. It was minus 4 degrees outside.   Descending the gangway onto the icy tarmac in Finnish Lapland was a dream come true. I...
Alterra Bought Arapahoe Basin. Can the Resort Keep Its Soul?
  Arapahoe Basin has always been about as far from a megaresort as a ski area can be.   It’s a place where the entire staff shows up at 5:30 a.m. to shovel snow on a powder day, where you’ll find the chief operating officer parking cars or taking out the trash, and where all proceeds from its most popular events go...

Man Pleads Guilty to Bald Eagle ‘Killing Spree,’ Accomplice Still at Large
  Over 6 years, two men conspired to illegally kill 3,600 birds in Montana and sell them on the black market, federal officials said this week.   One of those men, 48-year-old Travis John Branson of Washington, has pled guilty to the scheme and could face years in prison and a hefty fine. His co-defendant, 42-year-old Simon Paul of Montana, did not...
I Photographed Every Mile of the Colorado River. Here’s What I Learned.
  On a warm April morning, I gaze at a ghost tree towering above me. Its leafless canopy seems to be staring up as well, in similar disbelief, at the 500-foot-high sandstone cliffs surrounding us.   There’s a cluster of 70-foot-tall cottonwoods on this river-bottom spot, dead for decades yet seemingly frozen between the worlds of the living and the dead. Their...
The Wall of Death Is Still Alive, Thanks to These Devoted Riders
  The Wall of Death, a cylindrical wooden stage where talented riders pull off all sorts of stunts on motorcycles, was once a mainstay of American carnivals. Only a handful are in use today, passion projects for a few dedicated fanatics. “You’re not going to make too much money doing this,” says New York City photographer Jay Kolsch. “You have to...
My Friends Won’t Clean My Groover. Should I Stop Bringing It?
  Dear Sundog: A few years ago I bought a groover for river trips, thinking it a necessary bit of group gear. My river friends didn’t own one, and we always had to scramble to borrow/rent/steal one for each trip. It was expensive, like $400, once I got the accompanying seat and rocket boxes that fit into my rowing frame, but...

So, we decided to create a roundup of opportunities for this upcoming year that focus on equity in participation and...
The 8 Most Adventurous States in America. Number 1 Is …
  America kicks ass. I’m talking about our terrain, the landscape. The white sands and steep cliffs that make up the coast, the mountains that rise from river valleys, the backcountry lakes tucked into flowering meadows…and all the adventure you can find. We’ve got desert and we’ve got rainforest. We’ve got bullet-proof cliff faces to climb and waist-deep powder to ski....
The Best Camping String Lights of 2024
  There’s nothing like a string light to make a tent, hammock, or back of a car a cozy home away from home.
