The Gregory Z series packs are my favorites, and not just me, I have seen many through hikers wear this on the AT. This pack is so comfertable, and has a great design. The arched back gives you great ventilation to keep you cool. Then there is the bucket pocket. I keep my camp shoes and all my rain gear in there, and there is room for more. It is perfect for large bulky items, anything you need to get to quick, or even wet or realy dirty items you don't want iside your pack. The zippered front pocket is large and more usefull than I first thought. I also appreciate the side access to the main compartment. The only thing to consider is if you carry a heavy pack, over 35 pounds, try a different pack.
