About this deal
The company’s custom molding hip belt technology is one of its greatest achievements. It allows hip belts to fit perfectly around the hips, making it easier to carry heavy loads. Materials and Manufacture
But which brand is better? Well, that’s for you to decide. After all, every outdoor lover has different needs and preferences.Construction: 3 of 5 — The craftsmanship of the Zulu 30 is solid and what you’d expect from Gregory, but the materials used are nothing special. It’s all medium-density nylon, which strikes a balance of durability and weight. My favorite thing about Osprey’s All Mighty Guarantee is the fact that the company will repair any damage free of charge.
Gregory Mountain Products was begun in 1977 by Wayne Gregory in San Diego, California. Gregory was no stranger to building and designing outdoor equipment. I hope those suggestions are helpful. I would be very curious to hear what you decide on. Thanks again for the question. Webbing keepers make sure the excess straps on the side compression straps are kept under control. I wish the shoulder straps had webbing keepers too.
Our Verdict
Shoulder straps are beautifully designed, anatomic and with a great padding. The same material is on the waist belt.

The straps of the Gregory Zulu have been padded and utilize the same mesh material found on the rear for ventilation. The height of the shoulder straps can also be adjusted so you can find the ideal position to elevate pressure or otherwise have it fit as snug as possible during windy weather.

Compression: Excellent compression straps allow it to compress down dramatically without hindering other features.
