Good, but not what I expected By Jimbo from Seattle, WA on 11/12/2009 Pros: Adjustable, Lots of Storage Cons: Poor flap design, Uncomfortable Strap Describe Yourself: Office Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is large enough for my purposes - the primary reason I puraches it to replace another product. The flap leaves the top corners of the pouch area uncovered which creates a problem in my Seattle climate.

By Hiker AZ from Flagstaff, AZ on 11/06/2009 Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, High Quality Best Uses: Daily use, Long Vacations, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Comfort-Oriented, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got this bag a couple of years ago for a trip to Central America. It worked great for travelling - I can cram a small camera and guidebook in with a small wallet and other essentials. It's got a zippered pocket and cell phone sleeves and key clip to organize stuff. If needed, you can open it really wide to find things in it. It is also very comfortable to wear across your shoulder. When I got back it continued to be my primary purse for over a year, and has gone on a second trip to Central America. My bag still looks new - very durable and stain-resistant. I was excited to see it on Sierra and ordered one as a gift. Only downside is that it is not particularly stylish.
By Jim from Tucson, AZ on 11/03/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Oversized bladder pocket, Stable, Well-ventilated Cons: No bottle side pockets, No removable daypack, Size picky Best Uses: Day Hikes, Extended Hikes, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I could have gone bigger with better support by buying the Baltoro, but I decided to stay smaller (lighter) and cooler for overnight to week long desert treks. And, I'm glad I did. This is a versatile pack (bag expands well, comfortably carrying 40 pounds). It has top and side access to a single compartment with a wide back bucket pocket (not removable, forming an area underneath) and a good sized top lid pocket. It took a bit to figure out how to pack "right." Also crucial for me, the Z55 has an oversized bladder pocket that easily swallows my 4-liter platypus (so I don't plan on using side bottle pockets - but, they would have been nice to have). It could also carry two 2-liter bladders. I don't mind the smaller hip pads but I wish the straps were a bit more padded under the shoulders. And, it would be nice, say, if the top made into a day pack. Make sure you get the right size - a too small Z55 can really hurt. But these cons are minor... it's easy to see why this very well made, stable, and well-ventilated pack has become so popular. A Best Buy!

By Traveler from St. Joseph, Michigan on 10/30/2009 Pros: Easy To Carry, High Quality Describe Yourself: Classic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Looks great, smaller than regular messenger bag, which I was looking for. I wish it had more internal compartments.
By Hike in Nepal from NYC on 10/29/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Lightweight Cons: Hard to get stuff out Best Uses: Day Hikes, Light Loads, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It is a good bag but I bought two Gregory Z30 backpacks for me and my sister last year.
Two weeks after I started my trek (Nepal) the strap on one of the bags was torn.
Three month after that- the metal pole of the other bag broke. I bought it again cause it is very comfortable and I believe it is a coincidence that those things happened. Hope I am right.
