Good Features
 Super light and tough as nails. This pack has been through the hell of being on my back for over a year and with a good washing it always comes shining through. I have done my share of weekends in it in both heavy and light terrain and sometimes it was the only thing that did not let me down. The shoulder pads are just the right amount of padding as to not make you hot. The back venting is a dream in warm Alabama weather. and the kangaroo pocket has a billion uses but I may not count so well.

Bad Features
 The only thing I wish they would improve about this pack is a slightly larger hip belt. I may just need to lose a few pounds though.

The Z 55 Backpack by Gregory is part of their fast and light series.  If you are a hiker who can only get out on the weekends, or a climber that needs a pack for cragging, the Z55 is an incredibly durable, yet lightweight bag that can carry up to 3660 cubic inches.

The Z55 is made with a Jetstream Suspension System that gives you solid support for heavier weights, and is combined with Aerotech  mesh backpanel that allows free flow of air.  Want to carry your load with ease? The Z55 also has padded scapula and lumbar pads to make your time with the pack more comfortable. 

To help you get into a pack that fits you just right - here are some fitting suggestions.
