Hello All,
I have for sale today a new, never used Gregory Z35R(no tags). I'll happily email pictures upon request, but here is a review of the bag:
"This pack is sick. My medium size boasts about 2,300 cubic inches of space and that is great for a daypack meant for climbing, hiking, etc. Quick fyi, there are about 61 cubic inches in a liter. This means that if a pack is 36L in volume, like this pack for the medium size, then it is about 2,200 cubic inches in volume. Pack companies vary from this either way, but it is a good overall measurement. If you ever wonder "What will fit in this pack I am thinking about buying?". Just ask yourself "How many Nalgenes can I fit in the pack?". A 36L pack should be able to fit 36 Nalgenes, obviously not always uniformly, but you get the idea. Like I said, this pack is meant to be a technical pack with quick access areas, a large outside cantilever pocket, lash points for ropes and gear, and full compatibility for hydration systems. There are even hip belt pockets that can fit any point and shoot camera, knife, snack, etc. The hip pockets and cantilever stuff pocket make the top loader floating lid irrelevant. You still get the cargo room without the excess lid.
Jetstream LTS back panel:
One the best features of this pack is the way you tighten the waist belt. Instead of pulling out and having the buckle cinch down while you try to tighten, you pull in by using a redirected buckle system. There is no cinching action to stop the tightening. Companies just started doing this a few years ago and I don't know what took them so long. Genius!!! The Jetstream LTS suspension system makes this an extremely comfortable pack. It is meant to carry 30-40 lbs. and after using it for the better part of a year on climbing days I can say that a trad rack, rope, harness, shoes, water and food fit perfectly with room to spare for other essentials. It sits well on my shoulders and hips and the air channel on the back (Jetstream LTS) makes a sweaty back no problem. The lash points on the top of the pack accommodate a rope very well and adjust to different lengths to fit what you need. There are even lash points on the bottom for a sleeping pad or tent and the side compression strap tighten up your cargo for technical terrain where you need sure footing. A cantilever pocket on the outside provides ample expandable room to stuff clothing, trash, guidebooks and other items that otherwise get lost somewhere at the bottom of your pack. The fabric is durable and tossing around this pack is no problem. I have taken this climbing up and down the Frontrange of Colorado as well as climbing in Northern Italy and the abrasions are minimal and almost unnoticeable. Gregory always does a great job of constructing durable and tough product without adding additional weight. Even with the durability and beefy fabric options the pack still manages to breath pretty well too. This is a pack with tremendous potential for climbing or day/weekend hiking. It has plenty of room with features that include hydration compatibility, hip belt pockets, multiple lash points and compression straps."
**This pack is size large and is a beautiful grey**
I'd like $135.00(shipped) for this beauty....first I'll take it followed by email/PM gets a great pack. Thanks for looking.
