Super Z me!
I recently purchased the Z35 to replace an Osprey Stratos 36. The Gregory fit me so much better than the Stratos and the Stratos lacked the lumbar pad that the Gregory pack has. The shove it pocket on this pack is a great convenience. The Z35 has a stowable raincover as did the Stratos. The Osprey had a stow and go feature for trekking poles which worked good if you were walking over fairly level, non-technical terrain. However, it was a hinderance if any scrambling was involved and when downclimbing, the bottom of the poles would tend to drag on obstacles. I like the ability to stow the poles on the back of the pack and the Z35 is designed that way. The capacities of both packs is similar. I have a 4000cu Gregory pack and I should have originally stayed with the Gregory brand instead of buying the Osprey. Thumbs up to Gregory.

On the whole this pack has been excellent
Fully loaded the pack remained very comfortable and stable
Very light, the design is also good. And this bag will be my friend.

Very good backpack
I'm green color, Medium size backpack had purchased the z35. Yet one did not use the synthetic I like about it. I hit the pitch size, capacity, and above all affordable lightweight so easy. Much to my friends to like you, I would recommend this backpack.
